HC Deb 20 May 1986 vol 98 cc156-7W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how big a part of the 20 per cent. saving in energy costs sought by the end of this Parliament has been achieved by the latest date for which figures are available; and if he still expects to achieve all of the saving originally sought.

Mr. David Hunt

The Government believe that they have set in motion an energy efficiency programme which will not only ensure that over the lifetime of this Parliament our rate of improvement exceeds that of our international competitors, but by the 1990s will bring about the achievement in full of the savings they have identified.
