To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how his Department was consulted in the preparation of the Energy White Paper, Cm.5761. [109020]
Mr. McNulty
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister was consulted in the preparation of the Energy White Paper primarily through a Ministerial Cabinet Sub-Committee on Energy Policy attended by ODPM Ministers and chaired by my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister. Officials were also closely involved through a variety of inter-Departmental arrangements specifically set up for the Energy White Paper.
