§ Mr. McNair-Wilsonasked the Minister of Power if he will give figures showing the breakdown into coal, oil, gas and electricity of the total energy consumed in Great Britain in each of the past 10 years; and what are his estimates for each of the next five years.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeThe analysis of total energy consumption in the United Kingdom by type of fuel is given in Table 8 of the Ministry of Power Statistical Digest, 1963.
The use of oil, electricity and town gas is expected to continue to increase 211W and the direct use of coal to decrease but I cannot give precise forecasts at this stage.
