HC Deb 04 December 1980 vol 995 c257W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list those reports from Royal Commissions, official departmental committees or from ad hoc advisory groups established by his Department which have been published during the past 10 years by his Department—either totally or jointly with other Departments—and which have yet to be debated in the House.

Mr. David Howell

The Department of Energy was established in 1974, since when its publications issued via Her Majesty's Stationery Office can be ascertained from Her Majesty's Stationey Office catalogue(s). A copy of the Department of Energy's index of all its publications covering 1977 and 1978 only will be placed in the Library of the House of Commons. The precise information requested would be disproportionately expensive to collect and collate.
