Abstract
The Government's decision to veto the British Gas Corporation's proposed contract for the Norwegian Sleipner gas field, the abolition of the British National Oil Corporation, the year-long mining dispute and the proposed privatisation of the gas industry have all been major events in the United Kingdom's energy sector over the past two years (i.e. 1983–1985). The prospects for continued competition between natural gas and coal in the industrial market combined with the electricity supply industry's plans to increase the proportion of nuclear capacity of its system is likely to constrain the prospects for increased coal use in the short and medium terms.
