HC Deb 30 July 1980 vol 989 c703W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if his Department has yet received a copy of "The Flame" broadsheet No. 1 of Northern Ireland Public Services Authorities' campaign to save the gas industry; what study has been made of it; and if he will make a statement regarding Government policy on the gas industry of Northern Ireland.

Mr. Giles Shaw

[pursuant to his reply, 25 July 1980, c. 401]: A copy of this broadsheet has been received and noted. I refer my hon. Friend to the remarks which I made, as reported in column 20296 of Hansard for 18 July, on Govern-Government policy towards the gas industry during the recent debate on the Appropriation No. 2 (Northern Ireland) Order.
