HC Deb 02 May 1956 vol 552 c48W
98. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power in view of continued coal imports, what further steps he is now taking to encourage and stimulate fuel efficiency and conservation by all classes of consumers.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

The importance of fuel economy has recently been re-emphasised by the decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to restore the investment allowance for prescribed items of fuel saving equipment, and I shall continue to do all I can to maintain the momentum of the fuel efficiency campaign in close co-operation with the National Industrial Fuel Efficiency Service, the regional boards for industry and the other organisations concerned.
