HC Deb 14 April 1986 vol 95 c260W
33. Mr. Phillip Oppenheim

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what consideration he is giving to the impact of the level of energy costs borne by industry in the United Kingdom, compared with those of other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

I keep a close watch on comparative industrial energy prices. Energy prices to industry in this country have fallen in real terms over the last three years.
