HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 cc59-60W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what measures his Department has taken to encourage energy conservation by smaller firms.

Mr. Moore

My Department is responsible for the administration of two schemes aimed specifically at smaller firms—the energy survey scheme, which provides assistance with surveys of energy use, and the energy quick advice service, which provides advice on technical questions over the telephone. Many of the firms which take advantage of our energy conservation demonstration projects scheme are also in the smaller category, and obtain support for innovative work with energy saving and replication potential. In addition, my Department offers a wide range of publications aimed at promoting energy saving, all of which are available to smaller firms, as well

The Prime Minister

The inquiries are continuing.
