HC Deb 06 December 1973 vol 865 c464W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) if he will encourage technological innovations designed to increase efficiency in the use of energy ;

(2) if he will promote education and savings campaigns to increase efficiency in the use of energy.

Mr. Emery

We are considering what further action can be taken to promote greater efficiency in the use of energy.

Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will adopt pricing policies designed to increase efficiency in the use of energy.

Mr. Emery
