HC Deb 11 November 1991 vol 198 c358W
19. Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the future of the non-fossil fuel obligation.

Mr. Wakeham

The non-fossil fuel obligation continues to ensure the availability in the national interest of nuclear generating capacity and, as my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy informed the House last week, is providing for the construction of greatly increased amounts of renewables-sourced generating capacity.
