HC Deb 04 December 1978 vol 959 c472W
29. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he has had with his colleagues on the EEC Council of Ministers regarding alternative sources of energy.

Mr. Benn

Such discussions also led to adoption on 12th June of Regulation EEC no. 1302/78 concerning financial support for projects to exploit alternative energy sources. Such support may be granted following further proposals from the Commission and decisions by a future Council.
