§ Mr. Mike Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will make available in the Library copies of all papers submitted to his 22nd June 466W Energy Conference; and whether hon. Members interested will be invited to observe the proceedings or participate.
§ Mr. OakesI shall certainly arrange for copies of all the conference papers to be placed in the Library, and I also intend that the conference proceedings and papers should be published. I regret that considerations of space preclude a general invitation to interested hon. Members to attend the conference, but I have invited the Chairmen of the Select Committee on Nationalised Industries and the Select Committee on Science and Technology to participate in the conference with some of their members, and I have also invited two hon. Members from the Conservative Party, and one from each of the following parties: Liberal, Scottish Nationalist, Plaid Cymru and United Ulster Unionist Coalition.
