Question
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body what plans it has to replace ordinary light bulbs in the Parliament building with energy saving bulbs.
Answer
We recognise thata number of areas of the building are lit by less efficient tungsten filamentlamps. Replacing these lamps will contribute towards our three year energyreduction target, which is currently on course to be achieved. A start has beenmade on identifying practical options for replacing lamps in a number of areas.In 2008 a full study will be undertaken to identify where it will be costeffective and feasible to replace lamps with energy saving ones.
