PROPOSED CAPITAL FUND FOR RENEWABLES TECHNOLOGY IN GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

Early day motion 782, tabled 11 October 2010 by Ronnie Campbell (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House supports continued investment in photovoltaic cells, solar panels and other energy-saving renewable technologies; recommends that the Government considers the merits of establishing a capital fund for loans to managers of Government properties for expenditure on such technologies; further recommends that the consequent savings from reduced energy bills be used to repay the loan; and notes that the net overall cost to the Exchequer would be nil, and that the overall cost to the public purse of managing such properties would be reduced.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Green 1.
