HC Deb 19 December 1980 vol 996 cc392-3W
Mr. Robert C. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he is satisfied with the progress of energy conservation in the Northern region; and what consideration he has given to making special provision because of the climatic conditions of the area in winter time.

Mr. John Moore

I believe that industry, local authorities and others concerned are making good progress with energy conservation in the Northern region. I do not consider that climatic differences justify special provisions for energy conservation in the region.
