HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 cc182-3W
Mr. Joel Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give further consideration to the question of improvement grants, with particular reference to ensuring that grants are made to houses in good state of repair, even though the expected life may be less than 10 years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

In the course of my current comprehensive review of policy on older housing I am looking at the whole of the existing grants scheme to see whether any changes are necessary.
