is it better to have central heating running throughout the day on a lower setting or is it better on /off on higher settings?

Goodness me, the second similar question in one day!
In the same way I've responded to the other one, it's DEFINITELY cheaper to have it on the "correct" setting on a timer. Boilers run more efficiently at full power and hence it's better to let the house cool down when you are not actually in it. The rate of loss of heat is also lower, for a lower heat differential against outside.
But you should also have thermostatic valves on your radiators, which will mean that the room temperatures are correct in each room and energy isn't being wasted making you too hot.0
