§ Sir David SteelTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make it his policy to maintain the current level of funding to the local energy advice centres from September 1996. [35763]
§ Mr. Robert B. JonesI have been asked to reply.
The Energy Saving Trust is responsible for the management and funding of the local energy advice centres. My Department has agreed the trust's proposals to use DOE funds to support the local energy advice centres up to March 1999. The trust is announcing its plans for the local energy advice centres on 8 July, at the local energy advice centres annual conference.
