HC Deb 09 February 1976 vol 905 c2W
42. Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the state of this winter's fuel stocks.

Mr. John Smith

Figures on fuel stocks are published monthly in "Energy Trends", available in the Library of the House. At the end of December coal stocks amounted to 30.8 million tons and oil stocks were 21.6 million tons. Each is considered adequate to meet normal contingencies in the remainder of the winter.
