Mary Creagh (Labour MP; Wakefield) raised Logicor's achievements this month in Parliament: "I am grateful to the Minister for giving way to me for a second time. On his point about innovation and local firms, may I say that Logicor Ltd, a firm in my constituency, has developed a plug that automatically turns off after a set period of time? When people iron for three quarters of an hour or an hour-or, in my case, five minutes-the plug will then automatically turn off, so there is no danger of someone forgetting about the iron, leaving it on and potentially setting their house on fire. Such appliances have huge potential to make energy and financial savings for homes, be it through turning off the light on someone's microwave or the light on their dishwasher-those devices also use energy"

Wasted energy is costing UK households an average of £365 per year. This is according to research carried out by Professor Martin Crowder of Imperial College London into a ComRes survey researching energy wastage, on behalf of Logicor Ltd.

Professor Martin Crowder stated: "This research reveals that there are definite savings to be made. It is worth noting that the average figure quoted also masks a huge variation, so for some there will be even more potential for saving with the use of an appliance like the Green Plug."
