HC Deb 25 March 1974 vol 871 c3W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if it is his intention to formulate proposals for energy saving in the autumn and winter of 1974–75; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Varley

The action needed to improve efficiency in the use of energy will extend well beyond next winter; but in arriving at my proposals I shall, of course, take into account the short-term requirements for next winter and the experience of the last few months.
