§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he will be able to give 1989–90 figures and 1990–91 figures on energy consumption and energy spending to update the 1988–89 figures given in the answers of 14 May 1990,Official Report, columns 277–78, and 30 April 1990, Official Report, column 387.
§ Mr. Leigh[holding answer 20 June 1991]: Some estimates have been prepared for 1989–90:
Million £ million Electricity 10.4 Kilowatt hours 3.3 Gas 2.6 Therms 0.8 Oil 3.6 litres 0.4 However, it should be noted that these figures and previous figures given have been compiled from global billing of the Property Services Agency. This billing was not broken down in a way which readily identified the consumption of individual Departments. The figures are therefore only broad indicators and are not comprehensive.
From 1990–91 the Department will have figures based on direct billing which will be accurate and comprehensive. The 1990–91 figures will be available in October 1991.
