HC Deb 03 March 1981 vol 1000 c61W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will modify his energy policy so as to aid and consider companies where energy costs are a substantial part of total costs but which are not necessarily bulk users of energy.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Government are aware that energy-intensive companies are not all bulk users of energy. They will be taking this fact into account in considering the report of the NEDC task force reviewing energy prices to United Kingdom industry compared with those to its competitors abroad.
