§ Mr. Cynog Dafis accordingly presented a Bill to require all district and borough councils in the United Kingdom to draw up energy conservation plans for their areas; to require that these plans assess the works needed on residential accommodation in order to achieve energy savings of up to thirty per cent.; to require also that these plans assess the number of jobs that such a programme would create, the savings in fuel bills that different types of households might expect and the decrease in emissions of certain gases that would result; to establish a consultation process in the drawing up of these plans; to set up Regional Energy Boards to monitor and advise on the implementation of the plans; to require the Secretary of State to set a date by which all such plans must be sent to him, to draw up and publish a timetable or timetables for the implementation of the plans and to make funds available for the implementation of the plans; to give the Secretary of State power to impose a levy on fuel prices in order to raise the money; to give the Secretary of State a power to direct electricity and gas suppliers to supply certain information to councils to enable them to prioritise certain premises for energy conservation works; and for related purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time upon Friday 19 March and to be printed. [Bill 145.]
