HC Deb 23 February 1981 vol 999 c268W
23. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he is satisfied with progress towards the development of a European Economic Community energy policy.

Mr. David Howell

The Community is developing a valuable role in international energy discussions and in taking action on appropriate matters of shared concern. The United Kingdom is playing a full part in this process. However, the main responsibility for energy developments rests with member States' national energy programmes.
