Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to reduce energy costs in her Department; and if she will make a statement.

The 2013/14 Home Office Annual Report and Accounts (ARAc) details the work undertaken by the Department to reduce energy costs. Excluding the Department’s arms length bodies, direct energy costs reduced from £8,050,707 at 2009/10 prices to £6,231,669 at 2013/14 prices.
