HC Deb 13 November 1984 vol 67 cc213-4W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider the proposal that local authorities should be enabled to restrict improvement repair grant work to a list of approved value added tax registered contractors who are able to offer a recognised guarantee scheme.

Mr. Ancram

My right hon. Friend hopes that one of the results of the Government's current review of grant arrangements will be an extension and improvement of warranty schemes.
