To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the UK(a) consumption of coal and (b) extra tonnes of carbon dioxide burned between August and October was in (i) 1999 and (ii) 2000. [147815]

Mr. Hain

[pursuant to his reply, 30 January 2001, c. 121W]: I should like to point out that there was an increase of 1 million tonnes (and not 3 million tonnes) in the amount of coal consumed in this period in the UK in 2000 compared with 1999.
