§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what decision his Department has reached on the placing of solar PV panels on Eland House. [27124]
§ Sir Paul BeresfordThe Department of the Environment considered installing photovoltaic cells at Eland house. The investment was not judged to be justified, given that the potential energy savings were small in relation to the capital cost. A number of other cost-effective energy saving measures were however, included in the design.
