HC Deb 20 December 1971 vol 828 c236W
Mr. Woof

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce a new fuel policy making the maximum use of oil and gas from the North Sea and home-produced coal.

Mr. Ridley

The fuel oil duty already gives a measure of preference to other indigenous fuels, but use of fuels depends largely on their respective prices. My right hon. Friend continues to review all aspects of fuel use.
