HC Deb 25 April 1994 vol 242 cc31-2W
Mr. Alan W. Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what portion of the £130 million spent on energy and fuel efficiency awareness and advice since 1990, as quoted in paragraph 8.2 of "Climate Change: the United Kingdom Programme" has been funded by his Energy Efficiency Office; and if he will list the other sources and the amounts they have contributed to the total.

Mr. Atkins

Almost all the expenditure referred to in "Climate Change: the UK Programme"—some £129 million—went towards programmes which are the responsibility of the Energy Efficiency Office. Some £250,000 was spent on other programmes, as follows: £150,000 on work associated with the climate change programme—a discussion document, discussion workshops and conferences on global warming involving private and public sector industry, publication of a climate change newsletter and sponsorship of the Atmospheric Research Information Centre—£42,000 on green brigade projects and the environmental grant fund and £62,000, spent by the Department of Transport, on publication of the "Motoring and the Environment" and "New Car Fuel Consumption" leaflets.
