HC Deb 21 July 1975 vol 896 c8W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his policy for the provision of electricity supplies by source over the next 10 years.

Mr. Eadie

The provision of electricity supplies will depend upon the availability and price of fossil fuels and the development of our nuclear programme. Within this period coal will continue to play the major role in meeting electricity demand and our nuclear programme will be built up as rapidly as progress allows.
