In respect of emission reductions, is there any reason to doubt the validity of the 2003 Energy White Paper? It argued that energy efficiency was the safest and cleanest way to manage carbon reductions.

No, I do not think that there is any reason to doubt that judgment. Energy efficiency can be a very powerful tool. For historical reasons of under-investment over many decades in this country, it is available to us to a greater degree than is the case with the many other European countries that up to now have been able to deliver higher levels of energy efficiency. However, my hon. Friend will know that the investment put in by this Government, not least through the warm front programme, means that we are beginning to make inroads in that respect.

Mr. Chaytor: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what his Department's assessment is of the contribution that solar photovoltaics can
make to reducing carbon emissions in new build housing built to latest Part L Building Regulations. [220705]
Phil Hope: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has determined that solar photovoltaic generating systems are not yet
cost-effective. They were not, therefore, specifically mentioned in the Part L consultation document last year as being appropriate
to the achievement of reasonable provision in compliance with the Building Regulations.
The Part L proposals include setting minimum overall building performance standards at levels much higher than at present and
providing new technical guidance on low and zero carbon systems. PV is not ruled out and remains one of the technologies that
builders can choose to adopt to comply with the regulations.
