asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science 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 held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science 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 the Department spent £311,949 on heating and lighting its 45 offices. Information about the amount spent on energy efficiency measures is not readily available and I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible with details.
