asked the Secretary of state for the Environment how many buildings are managed by the Property Services Agency; what is the total annual cost of the energy consumed in them; and how many of these buildings are included in the five-year energy conservation programme aimed at saving £20 million a year at current fuel prices.

About 30,000 buildings; about £85 million a year. All these buildings are being or will be considered as part of the PSA's energy conservation programme, and energy conservation measures incorporated wherever economic.
