HC Deb 06 December 1982 vol 33 c340W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if, with the assistance of fuel boards, he will initiate a campaign to provide better information about heating systems and better insulation.

Mr. Mellor

My Department has recently launched a publicity campaign which will provide this information. In addition to press advertisements, information about heating systems and advice to consumers about proper insulation and controls is published. Much of this information was prepared in co-operation with the nationalised fuel industries and private enterprise.

A guide for people installing wet central heating systems will be introduced in the new year. This new guide emphasises the benefits of correctly sized heating systems, controls and insulation. It has also been prepared with the help of the fuel industries.
