HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c52W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received regarding the establishment of an Energy Commission for the co-ordination of measures for the efficient use of fuel; what replies he has sent; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Emery

I cannot trace any request for an Energy Commission for the co-ordination of measures for the efficient use of fuel. The Government are continuing to study the possibilities for furthering the conservation of energy resources, but I am not at present persuaded that the existing Government machinery operating in this area needs to be supplemented by an Energy Commission.
