§ Mr. Proudfootasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an estimate of the amount of fuel which would be saved nationally if public buildings and department stores were to reduce their temperatures by 1 degree centigrade and 2 degrees centigrade, respectively.
§ Mr. ChannonI am not responsible for department stores. In those public buildings where I have responsibilities or share responsibilities the saving is estimated at 7 per cent. or 14 per cent. in fuel consumption or £1.39 million or £2.78 million in money terms.
