§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much money will be allocated per annum for insulation materials under the welfare-to-work environmental task force initiative to enable young people to insulate the homes of pensioners. [8986]
§ Mrs. LiddellSome £3,150 million of the proceeds of the windfall tax has been allocated for the new deal for those under 25 who have been unemployed over six months. The environmental task force is one of four options for young people. The division of expenditure between these options will depend on the choices made by young people in consultation with designated case 805W workers and in the light of the opportunities available in each of the four options in that area. No overall expenditure has been specifically earmarked for insulation materials under the environmental task force.
