Energy: Long-term Supply

Lord Tanlaw Excerpts

Thursday 17th October 2013 Lords Chamber

[Lord Tanlaw (CB)]

My Lords, does the Minister’s estimate show that the forthcoming switch of clocks to winter time will reduce household and office consumption of energy? If the information is not available today from her department, the Energy Saving Trust or the Environmental Audit Committee, can she give an assurance that it will be available to noble Lords by March next year, when the clocks change to summer time and this question will be asked again?

[Baroness Verma]

My Lords, it is a very interesting question.
