HC Deb 21 December 1981 vol 15 c288W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he is satisfied with the progress of energy conservation schemes undertaken by industrial companies in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Mellor

I am satisfied that many industrial companies have shown considerable initiative in this field, in many cases assisted by my Department through energy audits, surveys and demonstration projects, but I remain concerned that a significant number of companies which could benefit from energy conservation schemes have not yet undertaken any.
