§ Mr. Varleyasked the Minister of Power (1) how he intends to inform Parliament and the general public of the studies he has made and conclusions reached to form the basis of a new fuel policy;
(2) if he will publish a White Paper setting out the studies he has made and conclusions reached to form the basis of a new fuel policy.
§ Mr. Concannonasked the Minister of Power what are his intentions with regard to a national fuel policy.
§ Mr. MarshMy Department's studies are making good progress, and as they reach conclusions bearing on fuel policy, I will inform the House; but some of the work is long-term and the full results of the review will only emerge over a period. I cannot therefore at this stage say whether it will be appropriate to publish them in a White Paper.
