Answer: Mr. Stunell: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what measures her Department (a) has undertaken and (b) plans to undertake to comply with the Sustainable Energy (CHP Provisions) Order 2003. [194425] Ruth Kelly: Cabinet Office buildings in Whitehall make use of heating from CHP via the Whitehall District Energy Scheme, although this does not extend to CHP generated electricity. We will aim to contribute to the CHP generated electricity commitments set out in the Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government Estate where there is likely to be no significant costs and/or further increase the percentage of electricity supplies currently being generated from renewable sources.
