HC Deb 21 June 1982 vol 26 c7W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if, in order to assist those industries that are intensive electricity users, he will take steps to encourage the energy supply industry and the coal industry to raise efficiency by matching coal from cost-effective mines with modern coal-fired generating plant.

Mr. John Moore

I fully support the efforts being made by the NCB and the CEGB to work together so as to reduce their costs, so benefiting all their customers.
