HC Deb 09 April 1968 vol 762 cc209-10W
48. Mr. Cronin

asked the Minister of Power how much naphtha was used for gas-making during 1966 and 1967; and what was the average price per ton in each year.

Mr. Freeson

For the financial year 1965–66 2.2 million tons of naphtha were used, at an average price of £8.3 a ton, and in the year 1966–67.32 million tons at an average price of £8.2 a ton. Figures for 1967–68 are not yet available but I am asking the Gas Council to send these to the hon. Member in due course.
