§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Trade what percentage savings in energy consumption he expects to achieve this year within his Department and in those sectors of trade and industry over which he has responsibility; and what percentage savings he is budgeting for next year.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisUntil my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy has made his forthcoming statement on energy conservation, I would see estimates of this kind as premature.
§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Trade what action he has taken to assist and advise industries and establishments with which his Department is concerned to conserve energy.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisI am confident that those industries and establishments will have noted the measures listed by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State258W for Energy on 18th November and will welcome the statement to be made shortly by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy.
