To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what standard of heat insulation is specified for pipework if PFI projects in his Department. [151657]

Ms Beverley Hughes

My Department expects all service providers, including PFI contractors, to make optimum use of plant, equipment and materials to meet the output specifications of contracts in accordance with the policies and targets set by Government in respect of sustainability, environmental and energy conservation requirements. While we do not specify standards, the output specifications of contracts conform to Government standards for sustainability and energy efficiency.
