asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has as to the total expenditure during 1986–87 incurred upon the heating and lighting of properties occupied by each of the public bodies for which he has responsibility; and if he will list details of the amount spent on energy efficiency measures in these properties during the same period.

This information is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give details of the total expenditure during 1986–87 incurred upon the heating and lighting of properties for which he is directly responsible; and if he will give details of the amounts spent on energy efficiency measures in these properties during the same period.

In 1986–87 my Department spent £3·215 million on fuel and utilities supplied to those buildings (or parts of buildings) which it occupies on the civil estate. Measures achieving energy efficiency often form part of more general maintenance or repair and it is not possible to identify this element separately.
