HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 c564W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what grants are available through his Department to enable Scottish local authorities to replace inefficient and expensive heating systems on their housing estates; what criteria are used in considering applications; and how many grants have been made during each of the past five years for which figures are available.

Mr. Rifkind

There is no specific grant available for such work, but any expenditure so incurred is taken into account in the calculation of housing support grant.
