HC Deb 24 October 2002 vol 391 c423W
Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when she expects to publish her Department's analysis of the responses to the energy review consultation document. [76397]

Mr. Wilson

The Government has recently completed its consultation on energy policy. It proposes to take the responses to the consultation into account in its work leading to a White Paper in the New Year.

Reports on a series of seminars and conferences associated with the consultation are being published on the DTI's web site.

The results of consulting the general public through focus groups, deliberative workshops and the questionnaire made available at the Tomorrow's World Live road show were published on 10 October. The questionnaire was also made available on the DTI's web site. The results of these responses will be published shortly.

We have received over 2000 written responses to the consultation document. We expect to publish a summary of these responses shortly on the DTI's web site along with the individual responses that are already being published there.
