Mr. Eadie

The Government's response to the recent recommendations of the Select Committee on Science and Technology will provide a suitable opportunity for reporting progress on the energy conservation campaign.

Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is proposing to set medium and longer term targets and more specific objectives for the energy conservation campaign.

Mr. Eadie

Consultation with large industrial users on energy-saving targets was among the recommendations of the recent report of the Select Committee on Science and Technology. The recommendations are all being carefully considered but I cannot anticipate the Government's response.
