That is an area that is worthy of Government grants. I ask the officials to examine the grant perspective to help schools to put in place the measures they need. While there is an incentive for every school to put in place energy saving measures, as it would help them to use their capitation grant funding better, the reality is that many principals are lucky if they can pay the bills this week. While they would like to think of measures that could be introduced to save money in five years' time, they cannot do that. Therefore, grants are needed to achieve that.
