Carbon and Energy Saving Trusts

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (1) pursuant to the answer of 10 March 2009, Official Report, columns 399-400W, on the Carbon Trust: public relations, if he will ask the Board of the Carbon Trust to publish details of payments it has made to (a) Fishburn Hedges, (b) Grayling Political Strategy, (c) Weber Shandwick Public Affairs and (d) Citigate Public Affairs in each of the last five years;
Answer

I do not intend to do so. Operational decisions are a matter for the trusts, and the release of these details is therefore a matter for their boards. However, I understand that both Carbon Trust and Energy Saving Trust would be happy to discuss these issues with you, and I suggest that you contact the chair of each trust if you wish to take up that offer.
