§ Mr. Mike Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his Department's estimate of the saving in energy from the ban on daylight advertisement illumination; and what would be the saving from a ban on similar advertisements at night.
§ Mr. EadieThe precise energy saving resulting from the ban on daylight advertising illumination is not known but by itself will not be large. The annual savings from a total ban on similar advertisements at night might amount to perhaps ½ million tons of oil or oil equivalent, assuming average annual generating efficiency.
