HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 cc95-6W
82. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Minister of Power what estimate he has made of the overall figure spent during each of the last three years within the United Kingdom on all forms of fuel used for power and heating, respectively.

Mr. Freeson

Estimated expenditure on all forms of fuel in 1965 was about £3,500 million, including the duties on oil. Purchases by domestic consumers accounted for about one-third of this, expenditure by industry and commerce, etc., for a further third; the remainder was spent on fuels for transport of all forms. No separate estimates are available for power and heating purposes separately.
