§ Mr. Gerald Howarthasked the Secretary of State for Energy how much it costs his Department per year to produce and distribute the newspaper Energy Management; and if he will arrange for it to be privatised.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerEnergy Management newspaper costs £136,000 to produce and distribute annually. The newspaper is an essential component in the energy efficiency office's programme of information and advice to industry. I would consider any proposal to privatise the newspaper, if it would continue to provide industry with the information and advice currently provided.
