§ John BarrettTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much(a) coal, (b) gas and (c) oil she estimates was consumed in Scotland in the last year for which figures area available, broken down by local authority or by the nearest appropriate division. [35784]
§ Mr. WilsonOil consumption in Scotland in 2000 (as measured by deliveries of products for energy and non-energy uses to final consumers) was 6.8 million tonnes.
Sales of gas to customers in Scotland receiving gas via the national transmission system amounted to 45,638 GWh in 2000.
Data for oil and gas consumption are not available at a lower geographical level of disaggregation. 2000 is the latest year for which figures are available.
Coal consumption data for Scotland alone are not readily available as consumption data are based on disposals from collieries and from coal imports, neither of which are separated by country of destination.
