Energy Efficiency (S&T Report)

My Lords, at this stage it is the convention to thank noble Lords who have taken part in a debate, but my thanks go far beyond the convention. To see the enthusiasm and expertise of noble Lords who have spoken in the tired, long hours of a Thursday afternoon and evening is a remarkable event. I give my heartfelt thanks to all noble Lords who have taken part. I also thank the Minister for his detailed, careful and courteous reply to the debate. It is good to hear that so much has been happening since our report was published a rather long time ago. I would like to think that our report perhaps played a small and modest part in some of the Government’s thinking on this. Once again, I thank all noble Lords who have taken part. On Question, Motion agreed to.
