HC Deb 09 June 1967 vol 747 c272W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Minister of Power how much of the fuel oil being used in power stations is imported from refineries abroad; and what is the cost.

Mr. Freeson

The information readily available does not distinguish home refined from imported fuel oil in the supplies to power stations. In 1966 total inland deliveries of fuel oil, at 29 million tons, were roughly in balance with refinery output. The average value of all fuel oil imported in 1966 was £5.28 per ton.
