§ Mr. Bradfordasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many conversion schemes involving the replacement of electrical heating appliances of every kind by solid fuel burners are being undertaken by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in Northern Ireland; and what is the cost of each individual scheme.
§ Mr. Goodhart[pursuant to his reply, 19 May 1980, c. 83]: These are matters which lie within the day-to-day responsibilities of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. However, I am informed that since the programme for the conversion of all-electric dwellings to solid fuel was started in the summer of 1978, 43 contracts for this work involving 1,608 dwellings
412Whave been placed by the executive. My Department has no precise costs for each individual scheme, but I understand that the total estimated expenditure to date on this work is approximately £2.03 million.
