HC Deb 26 November 1969 vol 792 c103W
85. Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Technology what part he estimates that indigenous energy sources in this country will play in the drive for increased exports.

Mr. Harold Lever

Exports of coal and home refined petroleum products are going well. The main rôle of the fuel industries however is to underpin the export efforts of others by ensuring adequate supply and efficiency in production. The fuel industries are well aware of this need and have substantial achievements to their credit.
