BRITAIN 1977: AN OFFICIAL HANDBOOK
The fuel and power industries, with the exception of most of the petroleum
industry and part of that concerned with the extraction of natural gas, are
under public ownership. The publicly owned fuel and power industries in
Britain employ in total some 600,000 people, 2-3 per cent of the working
population, and their annual turnover is about ^7>500 million and capital
investment about £1,400 million. In Great Britain the Secretary of State for
Energy is responsible for these industries, except for electricity in Scotland
which is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Scotland. The
appropriate Secretary of State appoints members of the boards and approves
Energy trends 1965-75
