HC Deb 20 February 1991 vol 186 c153W
Mr. Cartwright

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to encourage the use of low-energy light bulbs in his Department's offices and other buildings and throughout the national health service.

Mr. Dorrell

The Department's building managers are instructed to consider installing low energy lighting when replacing existing installations. For the NHS comprehensive guidance on all aspects of lighting, including low-energy lamps, is included in volume 2 of the publication ENCODE issued to all health authorities in 1986, a copy of which is available in the Library.
