§ Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will instruct his Department to carry out a study on the feasibility of labelling appliances as to their energy consumption.
§ Mr. John MooreI have been asked to reply.
My Department issued a consultative document in March 1980 entitled "Energy Consumption Labelling of Domestic Household Appliances" which invited comments on the conclusions, so far, of its study of energy consumption labelling. Replies are now being analysed Copies of the consultative document are available in the Library.
