§ Mr. Evansasked the Secretary of State for Energy (1) if he has made any estimates of the potential savings to the United Kingdom's energy bill which will be gained during Energy Efficiency Year in each region of the United Kingdom;
(2) if he will list the total proposed savings during Energy Efficiency Year by sector; and, in each case, what these savings represent as a percentage of (a) total savings in the United Kingdom and (b) the United Kingdom's annual energy bill.
§ Mr. David HuntEnergy Efficiency Year is part of a continuing campaign by Government to persuade the nation to save the £7 billion it wastes each year by using energy inefficiently. Savings stimulated by the campaign will accrue over different timescales, depending on the measures undertaken. I regret that there is no satisfactory regional breakdown of total energy consumption. The sectoral breakdown of the nation's energy bill is as follows:
Energy consumption by sector-£ million 1984 Domestic 9,620 Industry, commerce and public services 11,980 Transport 15,040
