Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the number of persons employed in the Energy Technical Support Unit.

Mr. Eadie

The present staff is eight qualified scientists or engineers with some clerical assistance.

Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied with the monitoring by the Energy Technical Support Unit of overseas studies into the question of energy conservation.

Mr. Strang

I am satisfied with the progress it is making. It is concentrating initially on the research and development aspects of conservation in industry and is participating in the international study on that topic taking place as part of the post-Washington discussions on co-operation in the energy sector.
