§ Miss Maynardasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of potential energy savings and 460W remedying of dampness that can result from domestic insulation measures, if he will make a special financial allocation to local authorities so that they are able systematically to undertake insulation work in dwellings which they own.
§ Sir George YoungWithin the annual block capital expenditure allocations, local authorities, with their local knowledge, are now free to decide the priority they wish to give to insulation work to improve the energy efficiency and remedy dampness in dwellings which they own.
§ Miss Maynardasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he plans to take as a result of his Department's insulation homes research programme.
§ Sir George YoungThe findings of the Department's "Better Insulated House Programme" have been used as evidence to support the higher standards of insulation required under the revisions to the building regulations to be brought into brought into force on 1 April this year.
