§ Mr. Nicholas BennettAs Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales, I have responsibilities which include the use of energy. The publication of the Welsh Office energy efficiency plan was announced on 8 May 1989 by the then Secretary of State for Wales, my right hon. Friend the Member for Worcester (Mr. Walker), and copies were placed in the Library of the House. The plan is currently being updated to reflect the increasing concern for energy efficiency exemplified by the recently instigated ministerial group on energy efficiency.
