HC Deb 09 March 1984 vol 55 c726W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how many representations he has received supporting the proposal by W. S. Atkins and Partners that Leicester should be a lead city for combined heat and power district heating; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Seven representations have been received in support of the proposal that Leicester should be selected as a lead city for combined heat and power district heating.

Representations received from interested parties are being taken into account in the Government's consideration of the reports on combined heat and power by W. S. Atkins and Partners and the Select Committee on Energy. A statement on the outcome of these deliberations will be made shortly.
