HC Deb 10 February 1976 vol 905 c143W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many public buildings in the United Kingdom are currently being heated by solar heating.

Mr. Armstrong

No buildings in the United Kingdom for which my Department is responsible employ solar energy techniques for heating purposes. These techniques are not at present cost effective for general application. My Department, however, is involved in a number of research and development projects in this field.
