Mr. Biggs-Davison
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the saving of public funds from cuts in heating and lighting in the Palace of Westminster during the power restrictions.
Mr. Channon
The main heating of the Palace of Westminster is independent of electricity but there will be some small savings on lighting and lifts which I cannot yet quantify. I am grateful to hon. Members for their co-operation in securing these economies and to the London Electricity Board for its ready assistance in very difficult circumstances.
