HC Deb 26 June 1986 vol 100 c270W
Mr. Bruce

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give the total of spending for the last financial year available funded by his Department or Government agencies on (a) domestic energy conservation and (b) industrial conservation and energy efficiency.

Mr. David Hunt

Expenditure by Government Departments is not broken down in the way in which the hon. Member suggests, and it would cost a disproportionate amount to do so. However, I estimate that, in the financial year 1984–85, the latest period for which comparable figures are available, total Government expenditure on energy efficiency in the domestic and non-domestic sectors was respectively £50 million and £55 million.
