HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 cc173-4W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what funds have been allocated for 1981–82 to each district coucil authority in Wales for thermal insulation grants for the elderly in special need.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

£1.5 million has been made available for 1981–82 under the homes insulation scheme and this is intended to cover both special need and general cases. Details of the individual district allocations were given in a letter dated 16 December, a copy of which is in the Library.

Local authorities were reminded that applications from those in special need, such as the elderly in receipt of supplementary pension, rent rebate or allowance, or a rate rebate should receive strict priority over all other applications.
