HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 c146W
30. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will consider introducing grants or loans to assist in the rewiring of electrical systems in old properties.

Mr. Eyre

Electrical rewiring may already be grant-aided, at the discretion of the local authority, within the terms of the Housing Act 1969 as part of a full scheme for the improvement of an older dwelling. Powers also exist under which local authorities may make advances for repairs of this or any other kind.
