Mr. Jim Callaghanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he proposes to take to assist householders whose homes are badly affected by damp.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergMy right hon. Friend has no specific proposals relating to the treatment of damp as an item in itself. Where, however, dampness results from disrepair or other defects in the dwelling, grant aid may be available under the home renovation grant system.
