HC Deb 25 October 1968 vol 770 c405W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Minister of Power whether, in view of the official uncertainly about the amount of North Sea gas likely to be coming ashore in 1975, he will state which fuel will make up the deficiency.

Mr. Freeson

As the Fuel Policy White Paper (Cmnd. 3438) indicated variations in the amount of natural gas supplied are likely to affect both coal and oil as alternative fuels.
