The Solicitor-General

[holding answer 4 March 2002): In my own Department, the Legal Secretariat to the Law Officers, there have been no publicity or advertising campaigns in each of the last four years.

Mr. Robin Cook

Energy costs for my Department are as follows:

  • 2000–01—£11,818.04
  • 2001–02 (costs to date)—£9,436.70.

Figures for the other years requested can be provided only at disproportionate cost.

My Department monitors weather conditions when deciding whether to switch the heating on or off and has reduced its gas consumption by 10 per cent. for 2001 as stated in our service delivery agreement.
