I remember hearing about that back in the 1970s. Commercial interests aside, how on earth (pun, ha-ha) would that ever have been possible with the standard UK ring-main system? Unless the intention was that all existing installations would be replaced with European-style radial systems - kicking off a revolution in the UK.
