§ 98. Mr. Nabarroasked the Paymaster-General what steps he has taken to encourage thermal insulation of existing industrial, domestic and commercial buildings; and what further steps he contemplates.

The incentive to reduce fuel costs where possible is so strong that my noble Friend does not contemplate any additional measures.
