HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 cc210-1W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works which major Government Departments in the Whitehall area are centrally heated; and what are the main fuels used for this purpose in the Treasury, the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Defence and No. 10 Downing Street, respectively.

Mr. C. Pannell

Except for about half the building housing the Foreign Office, Commonwealth Relations Office, and Home Office, which is heated by open fires burning smokeless fuel, the major Government buildings in the Whitehall area, including No. 10 Downing Street, are centrally heated through the Whitehall district heating scheme, which uses coal tar fuel.
