Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many energy-efficient lightbulbs were subsidised by the Energy Saving Trust during the Little Bill-Large Savings campaign in October and November 1994. [17216]
§ Mr. Robert B. JonesThis is a matter for the Energy Saving Trust and the regional electricity companies. However, I understand that the subsidised sales figures for electronic compact fluorescent lamps during last year's promotion were 981,000. In addition the publicity generated by the promotional campaign resulted in additional sales of 500,000 electro-magnetic CFLs, which were not subsidised.
