HC Deb 17 March 1981 vol 1 c58W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when he anticipates the European Commission will give its full report on the comparative study on energy pricing policies; and, in the interim, if he is planning any steps to protect the position of United Kingdom industry.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Commission study is being prepared in time for the next Energy Council planned for June. The Government have just announced a £168 million package aimed at helping industrial energy consumers.
