§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assistance he will give to renewable energy projects in Northern Ireland in 1992; and when he intends to inaugurate a 20 per cent. non-fossil fuel obligation.
§ Mr. NeedhamIn 1992–93 an estimated £300,000 assistance will be provided for collaborative renewable energy projects in Northern Ireland. Additional assistance will be available to industrial and commercial organisations under the energy efficiency survey scheme. I hope to announce arrangements for a non-fossil fuel obligation in Northern Ireland in April.
