HC Deb 19 May 1980 vol 985 cc46-7W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many dwellings in the public sector have been given improved insulation since the programme began in 1978; and what has been the cost so far.

Mr. Rifkind

In the period April 1978 to the end of December 1979, 101,000 uninsulated local authority houses were provided with basic insulation at a cost of £4.725 million. Local authority returns for the last quarter of 1979–80 are not yet available.
