§ Mr. Spellerasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is Government expenditure on biomass in the current year; and what it is estimated to be in 1983–84 and 1984–85, respectively.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithExpenditures by my Department on biomass and the use of waste as a fuel totalled £1.3 million in 1982–83. I expect expenditure to continue at about this level over the next two to three years.
