HC Deb 26 June 1979 vol 969 c150W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many Government offices in the London area are heated by oil-fired central heating, how many by coal, electricity and gas; and what steps are being taken to reduce fuel usage for the coming winter.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Responsibility for heating some leased offices rests with the landlords and details are not available. Of 901 other Government offices in London, 54 per cent. are heated by gas, 42 per cent. by oil and the remainder by coal. The existing energy conservation programme is continuing and being intensified.
