To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what new measures are being put forward by the Government to encourage energy conservation in the home and place of work.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Energy Efficiency Office is continuing to promote energy efficiency in the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors through a number of programmes aimed at energy consumers, professional advisers and decision makers. Recent initiatives include the best practice programme, which aims to provide authoritative and targeted information on a wide range of energy efficiency measures and applications, and the proposed new scheme of grants for insulation measures in the homes of those on low incomes.
