§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy what he estimates will be the savings in gasoline consumption following the implementation of Clause 13 of the Energy Bill.
§ Mr. John SmithIt is quite impossible to predict how the choice of cars will be influenced by the ready availability of truly comparable data about fuel consumption of different models and I cannot therefore make any estimate of the effect on gasoline consumption.
§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy what he estimates will be the cost of administering the provisions contained in Clause 13 of the Energy Bill.
§ Mr. John SmithIt is intended that tests of fuel consumption shall be made by the producers, so that the cost of administering the provisions will be confined to the cost of official time spent in witnessing the tests as appropriate, necessary documentation and enforcement and this will not be significant.
