§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Chairman of the Accommodation and Works Committee what steps he has taken to improve energy efficiency in(a) heating and (b) lighting; and what plans he has to achieve further improvements in each of the next three years. [60152]
§ Sir Sydney ChapmanIn the last three years we have spent more than £18,000 on energy conservation measures. The House has already achieved energy savings in excess of 15 per cent. and we expect to increase that saving to at least 20 per cent. when the project to modernise the main boilers in the Palace of Westminster is completed in August 2001.
