Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Harrison (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 23 May 2007.
Climate Change: Tourism
- Question
- My Lords, following the recent helpful reply from the Government to my four Written Questions about the involvement of the hotel industry in saving energy, and particularly turning off lights and heating at high noon in high summer in hotel corridors, will my noble friend redouble the Government’s efforts to enter into a dialogue with the hotel and leisure industries on the many ways in which they can reduce energy wastage?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I assure my noble friend that that dialogue is going on. As the wider public become more and more aware of the necessity for all of us to contribute our part in combating climate change, they will expect hotels and other purveyors of tourist facilities to be able to demonstrate that they are playing their part in those terms. The Government are working alongside the tourist industry to equip it so to do.
