HC Deb 08 February 1982 vol 17 cc244-5W
16. Mr. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what progress he is making in encouraging energy conservation in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lawson

Between 1979 and 1981, primary energy demand fell by by 11 per cent. Approximately a third of this was due mainly to energy conservation, including the effects of changes in the relative price of energy.
