HC Deb 10 June 1997 vol 295 c420W
Mr. Gummer

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans she has to extend the non-fossil fuel obligation so that it is available to subsidise fossil fuels. [2672]

Mr. Battle

I am currently considering the options for the longer term future of the NFFO, and I will make a further announcement in due course. Extending the scope of NFFO to include other forms of energy would need primary legislation and clearance from the European Commission.
