HC Deb 13 January 2003 vol 397 cc366-7W
Sue Doughty

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what meetings his officials have had with representatives of the energy efficiency industry during the preparation of the Energy White Paper. [88538]

Mr. Wilson

I have been asked to reply.

As part of the preparation of the Energy White Paper my officials have held a number of meetings and expert workshops with representatives of the energy efficiency industry. Industry representatives attended opening workshops in London, Glasgow and Newport, and a final integrative conference in London covering a range of energy issues. They also attended workshops devoted exclusively to energy efficiency issues. Details are posted on the DTI website at: http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/developep/reports.shtml.

The White Paper has also been an important theme in recent meetings between officials and industry bodies, for example the British Energy Efficiency Federation.
