asked the Secretary of State for the Environment 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.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment 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.

Excluding the royal parks and palaces, total spending on heating and lighting in 1986–87 in my Department's buildings was:

£ million
Central DOE1·48
PSA2·12
3·60

This represents a reduction of some 10 per cent. on the previous year, in part achieved with the help of energy efficiency measures costing some £45,000.
