26. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what was the total United Kingdom energy consumption in the third quarter of 1982 as compared with the same period of 1981; and which, if any, primary energy types showed an increased supply of production level.

Mr. Gray

Provisional figures, published by my Department on 3 November, show that energy consumption in the third quarter of 1982 was 0.1 per cent. higher than in the same period in 1981. Increased levels of production were recorded, in the third quarter, for petroleum, natural gas and primary electricity.
