My Department is based in two leased sites, 1 Horse Guards Road, London and Stormont House, Belfast. In London, energy charges are included within the leasing arrangement from the landlord, Her Majesty's Treasury and my Department does not hold any figures for energy usage. In Belfast, energy usage is as follows:

(a) 2020/21 to date: No energy usage figures are available for 2020/21. Invoices for Gas and Electricity are processed via the Landlord on a quarterly basis so no figures are available for 2020/21.
