HC Deb 19 June 1979 vol 968 c498W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for energy if he is considering the introduction of incentives of any kind to enable schools, hospitals and domestic users to change from oil central heating to alternative forms of heating.

Mr. Gray

In present circumstances, I would expect that any consumer, public or private, who uses oil heating, to be looking closely at the advantages of alternative fuels. I do not believe there is at present a case for further incentives.
