I thank Hon Paul Llewellyn for - Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! There is a limited time in which to ask and answer questions. Hon KIM CHANCE : Thank you, Mr President. I thank Hon Paul Llewellyn for his interesting question. (1) Yes. (2)-(3) The government has been advised that small anticipated energy savings have been a consideration in the introduction of daylight saving in other jurisdictions, but it is difficult to ascertain whether such savings have been realised. It is difficult to predict how experience elsewhere might translate to local circumstances. Overall, any change in electricity demand from the introduction of daylight saving is expected to be small and will depend on how people respond to the new arrangements. The government remains committed to the promotion of energy efficiency through improving public awareness of energy-efficiency measures.
