HC Deb 13 April 1999 vol 329 cc28-9W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Chairman of the Accommodation and Works Committee what plans the Committee has for arranging for power to be obtained for the House from renewable energy sources. [80001]

Sir Sydney Chapman

Power for the House is purchased in the competitive market on the basis of lowest price and at present we have no plans to change this policy. Energy can be obtained from renewable sources at a premium price, depending on the source.
