HC Deb 17 March 1982 vol 20 cc149-50W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what sources his Department uses to cost policy options on domestic energy conservation measures and to estimate the numbers and groups likely to be affected by each option.

Sir George Young

The sources used by my Department include work carried out by the Building Research Establishment and the National Building Agency drawing on data such as that from Audits of Great Britain Limited, the family expenditure survey and the national temperature survey, together with experimental data and measurements of energy savings in occupied dwellings.
