HC Deb 22 July 2002 vol 389 c711W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to address the future shortfall in energy from traditional sources. [71931]

Mr. Wilson

I have been asked to reply.

The Government launched a consultation on energy policy on 14 May with a view to publishing a White Paper around the turn of the year.

The consultation document seeks views on the supply of energy from traditional and renewable sources as well as on issues relating to demand such as energy efficiency.
