Registered files selected from various series raised by the Treasury Solicitor's outstation at the Department of Energy and its predecessors the Board of Trade, Ministry of Fuel and Power, and Ministry of Power. The registered files contain correspondence and associated papers arising from legal advice and representation on issues relating to the regulation of coal, gas, electricity and petroleum during and after the Second World War.

The selected records include:
- Coal - works (e.g. drainage), control of supply and pricing, consumer councils, primary and subordinate legislation for nationalisation, and the European Coal and Steel Community
- Mines and Quarries - safety regulations (e.g. storage and use of explosives, adequate ventilation) and prosecutions for contravention
- Gas - Arbitration Tribunal Cases (stockholders' compensation)
- Industry - loans to Cornwall Tin and Mining Ltd under s.7 of the Industry Act 1972 and reorganisation and subscription for shares in British Leyland
- Miscellaneous - efficiency loans to industry, and petrol rationing
