§ 82 and 12. Mr. Fitchasked the Minister of Power (1) what was the original estimated percentage increase of coal to be used by electricity power stations in 1960 over 1959; and what has been the actual percentage increase to date;
(2) what was the original estimated percentage increase of fuel oil to be used 113W by electricity power stations in 1960 over 1959; and what has been the actual percentage increase to date.
§ Mr. WoodI cannot identify the original estimates to which the hon. Member refers. In the first 49 weeks of this year power stations in Great Britain used 4½ million tons or 10½ per cent. more coal, and 1 million tons or 27 per cent. more fuel oil than in the same period of 1959.
