Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the expenditure on loft insulation in Wales during 1983–84; what was the number of houses which benefited from this expenditure; and how these compare with the figures for 1982–83 and with the budget provision for 1984–85.

Figures for the final quarter of 1983–84 are not yet available. In the first three quarters expenditure under the homes insulation scheme was £1.425 million on 21,145 grants. Over the corresponding period in 1982–83 expenditure was £1.491 million on 20,579 grants. Homes insulation scheme allocations for 1984–85 amount to –3.772 million.
