§ 18. Mr. Duffyasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied with the response to his recent statement on energy conservation.
§ Mr. VarleyIt is too early yet to make any assessment on a programme of measures designed to achieve results over a period of time. I believe, however, that as my campaign begins to build up some energy savings are being made.
§ Mr. LaneIn view of the importance of keeping the public involved, which has been mentioned several times this afternoon, will the right hon. Gentleman give his full support to the appeal for good housekeeping, both industrial and domestic, that was made in The Times on Saturday by the Chairman of his Advisory Council on Energy Conservation, Sir William Hawthorne, who happens to be one of my most distinguished constituents?
§ Mr. VarleyYes, I can give a positive assurance to the hon. Gentleman.
