Part of Oral Answers to Questions — House of Commons Commission – in the House of Commons at 10:30 am on 15 October 2009.
I am grateful for that answer and to you, Mr. Speaker, for referring my request to you to the House of Commons Commission.
Very practical things could be done immediately and make a significant difference-for example, turning off the annunciators, which were on throughout the recess, thus consuming energy, and ensuring that television screens go off at the end of the evening and are not on stand-by. We could save an enormous amount by immediate action. Will the hon. Gentleman please view that as urgent and something that can be delivered this year?
