Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to implement a replacement programme to introduce LED lighting throughout her Department's buildings and sites; if she will estimate the proportion of lighting in her Department which is LED; and if she will make a statement.

As part of our commitment to energy efficiency and carbon reduction, all buildings and sites under the Department’s direct control have energy efficient lighting and, in the majority of cases, lighting control systems. At 2 Marsham Street LED lighting has been installed in architectural features and is being piloted in a meeting room and the car park. LED lighting is considered for refurbishments and new buildings where it is cost effective to do so. It is being used in part, in about 50 sites across the estate. Carbon emissions on the built estate have reduced by 32% since 2009-10.
