HC Deb 01 February 1977 vol 925 c102W
Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the total annual turnover of all the industries in the energy sector in the United Kingdom.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

The provisional results of the Census of Production for 1975, indicate that the total annual turnover—as defined by the sales of goods produced and of merchanted goods, and the receipts for work done and services rendered—of all the United Kingdom energy industries, excluding petroleum and natural gas for which information on 1975 is not yet available, was about £13½ billion.
