§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on what will happen to cash allocated by his Department on insulation grants which, due to industrial disputes, have not been taken up; and whether this cash will be re-absorbed by the Treasury for the Government or held over so that the housing stock can be insulated.
§ Mr. ArmstrongAs already announced, the resources for 1979–80 will be about £20 million and provision will be made in the Estimates. This will neither increase nor decrease as a result of the outturn for this year. However, I shall be keeping the progress of this ten year programme under review.
