§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he has made an assessment of the waste heat generated by radio and television transmission stations; what investigations are taking place on how to enable the use of this waste heat; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WakehamEquipment for such purposes is available from equipment suppliers, and I understand that following discussions with my Energy Efficiency Office some four years ago the BBC now makes use of such waste heat where it is practical to do so and has initiated a plan to improve energy efficiency in all its operations.
