HC Deb 29 November 1979 vol 974 c743W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what estimate has been given to him by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive of the cost of converting its houses from gas to other fuels in the event of a closure of the Northern Ireland gas industry.

Mr. Goodhart

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive estimates that, if the Northern Ireland gas industry were to close down completely, the cost of converting its homes from gas to other fuels would be in the region of £25 million, at current prices.
