§ 41. Mr. Spriggsasked the Secretary of State for Industry what were the comparitive energy costs of the British glass container industry, and similar industries in other European countries and in the United States of America, in the last year for which this information is available to his Department.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerSuch information on comparitive energy costs is not available. However, the recent report by the NEDC energy task force, to which the Glass Manufacturers Federation gave evidence, did not point to major energy price problems for the industry in competing with Europe.
