HC Deb 26 June 1978 vol 952 c374W
17. Mrs. Castle

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when he will announce his proposals for another fuel rebate scheme for next winter; and whether he will extend it to a wider range of categories.

Dr. John Cunningham

No final decisions have yet been made, but any proposals for another scheme for assistance with fuel bills would be announced in good time before next winter.

28. Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will discuss with the chairman of the Supplementary Benefits Commission any proposals he may have to assist people with low incomes to meet their fuel bills next winter.

Dr. John Cunningham

The chairman of the Supplementary Benefits Commission has given me a full account of the Commission's views on these matters.
