HC Deb 09 December 1997 vol 302 c531W
Mr. Redwood

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement on her energy policy. [19709]

Mrs. Beckett

The Government's broad energy policy is to ensure secure, diverse and sustainable energy. We are reviewing a number of specific policy areas, such as the regulation of utilities' support for renewables and clean coal technology, and how the issues of security of supply and fuel diversity should be addressed in considering applications for power station developments.
