§ Mr. John Garrettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the cost, and what were the savings, from the Rayner study of energy conservation on the Government estate.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe cost of the Rayner study on energy conservation in the Government estate was £4,600 when the report was issued in October 1979.
The report reinforced the energy conservation policies practised by PSA. These have produced an estimated saving of some £195 million over a seven-year period up to and including 1979–80 at September 1979 prices, on the Government's civil estate. It is too early to assess the saving in 1980–81.

§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe study cost approximately £12,000. It was concerned primarily with questions of organisation and management rather than with particular properties to which specific savings could be attributed.
