HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 c226W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what measures he is taking to implement a comprehensive scheme of house insulation in Scotland.

Mr. Rifkind

I shall continue to publicise the terms of the homes insulation scheme, as extended last year, whereby grant is paid on appropriate work in private houses. As regards the public sector stock, local authorities are free to use the resources available to them for insulation measures, which since 1979–80 have been incorporated in the capital allocations for the HRA block.
