HC Deb 28 January 1974 vol 868 cc13-4W
Mr. Swain

asked the Minister for Energy if he will issue a White Paper on a common energy policy covering coal, North Sea gas. North Sea oil and nuclear energy.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I believe it would be wise to allow present uncertainties to clear before considering publishing a White Paper; I would certainly expect any such document to deal with all the aspects referred to.

Mr. Swain

asked the Minister for Energy if he will give details of the common energy policy which Her Majesty's Government will be presenting at the energy conference in Washington.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Our broad aim will be to bring about effective international collaboration in solving current world energy problems.
