HC Deb 22 March 1978 vol 946 cc565-6W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many housing grants have been awarded for the improvement of homes of disabled people in each of the last three years; and what proportion of total improvement grant money this represents in numbers and money spent.

Mr. Armstrong

Following is the available information:

RENOVATION GRANTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF DISABLED PERSONS—ENGLAND
No. of dwellings
1975 (July to December) … 125
1976 … 563
1977 759

In 1977 these grants represented about 1 per cent. of all renovation grants paid, both in numbers and amount.
