Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1), pursuant to the answer of 3 June,Official Report, column 221, when and why information on energy consumption and expenditure in the form referred to in his answer of 10 May 1990, Official Report, column 214, ceased to be available for 1989–90;

(2) when he will be able to provide 1990–91 figures on (a) energy expenditure and (b) energy consumption in units to update those given for 1989–90 in the answers of 10 May 1990, Official Report, column 214.

Mr. Lang

[holding answer 20 June 1991]: I regret that the energy consumption figures for 1989–90 given to the hon. Gentleman on 10 May 1990 were based on information which has subsequently been found to be incomplete and inaccurate. Information in the form requested for the period prior to 1 April 1990 is therefore not available.

The Scottish Office assumed direct responsibility for maintaining these records from 1 April 1990 and I shall be writing shortly to the hon. Gentleman with details for 1990–91.
