§ Mr. Leadbitterasked the Minister for Energy what steps he has taken to conserve the use of fuel and promote research with this as an objective in areas for which his Department is responsible.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe hon. Member will be familiar with our measures to meet the present emergency. The increasing cost of energy, particularly oil, will provide a continuing strong incentive to consumers to conserve fuel. I am, however, considering what further action, including the promotion of research, can be taken in this field.
