HC Deb 15 May 1987 vol 116 cc392-3W
Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what information he has as to the total expenditure during 1986–87 incurred upon the heating and lighting of properties occupied by each of the public bodies for which he has responsibility; and if he will list details of the amount spent on energy efficiency measures in these properties during the same period.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

This information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give details of the total expenditure during 1986–87 incurred upon the heating and lighting of properties for which he is directly responsible; and if he will give details of the amounts spent on energy efficiency measures in these properties during the same period.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

During 1986–87 the Welsh Office spent £487,000 on heating and lighting. Energy conservation is primarily the responsibility of the Property Services Agency and my Department does not hold information about expenditure on energy efficiency schemes.
