HC Deb 18 February 1985 vol 73 c352W
20. Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what percentage of electricity generated by the Central Electricity Generating Board in 1984 was from coal on a fuel used basis; and what was the comparative figure for 1983.

Mr. Goodlad

Figures for the full calendar year will not be available until later this month. However, in the period January to November, on a fuel used basis, 55 per cent. of the electricity produced by the Central Electricity Board was derived from coal compared with 82 per cent. in the equivalent period in 1983.
