§ 24. Mr. Ian Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the level of carbon dioxide emissions produced as a result of energy use in the home.

§ Mr. Heathcoat-Amory
It is estimated that in 1990 the domestic sector emitted some 150 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (or 40 million tonnes of carbon). This represents about a quarter of total emissions. These figures take into account the domestic sector's estimated share of emissions from the electricity supply industry.
