Answer: Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will arrange an international conference on energy efficiency objectives as part of the forthcoming UK presidency of the European Union. [197867] Mr. Morley: There are no plans as yet to hold an event specifically focused on energy efficiency under the auspice of the UK's presidency of the European Union. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recognises the key role that energy efficiency will play in tackling climate change, which in addition is itself one of the two priorities for our G8 presidency. However ministers have not yet approved the programme of events, conferences and seminars that will be held next year.
