Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is the policy of the Supplementary Benefits Commission to assist with draught-proofing or heat insulation expenses; and, if so, how much has been disbursed in this way in the most convenient recent period for which figures are available.

Mr. Orme

I would refer the hon. Member to my hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, East (Mr. Thomas) on 27th January.—[Vol. 924, c.722.] I regret that the expenditure figure requested is not available.
