HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 c534W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what grants from national funds are available to assist local authorities to replace inefficient and expensive heating systems on their housing estates; what criteria are used in considering applications; and how many grants have been made during each of the past five years for which figures are available.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

No grant or subsidy is at present available to assist local authorities in carrying out works of repair or replacement to their own housing stock.
