§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the expenditure on existing Government buildings to improve insulation from heat loss during each of the last three years.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe cost of thermal insulation in the Government's civil and defence estates, including married quarters, is not separately recorded, but the total cost of all energy conservation measures at 1979–80 prices was:
1977–78 £4.8 million 1978–79 £8.3 million 1979–80 £11.0 million It is estimated that approximately half the above expenditure relates to thermal insulation measures.
