HC Deb 21 February 1977 vol 926 c412W
33. Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list the names of all those whom he intends to invite to serve on the Energy Commission.

Dr. John A. Cunningham

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave earlier this afternoon.

Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Energy which trade union representatives have been approached about membership of the proposed Energy Commission.

Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for Energy which seven industries have been approached about membership of the proposed Energy Commission.

Mr. Benn

I would refer the hon. Members to the answer which I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for the Isle of Wight (Mr. Ross).

Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he intends to invite a representative from the United Kingdom Offshore Operators' Association to join the Energy Commission.

Mr. Benn

No decisions have yet been taken on the composition and functions of the proposed Energy Commission. I hope that it will be possible for organisations with an interest in aspects of energy policy like the United Kingdom Offshore Operators' Association to make a contribution to the commission's work.
