HC Deb 09 March 1978 vol 945 c762W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what economic policy measures he is taking or proposes to take in the light of the prospective world shortage of energy if that is his working assumption.

Mr Joel Barnett

The Government's views on long-term energy prospects, and their energy strategy proposals, were set out for public discussion in the recent Green Paper, "Energy Policy" (Cmnd 7101). Our economic policy measures take these prospects and proposals into account as appropriate.
