HC Deb 27 January 1986 vol 90 cc374-5W
21. Mr. Sackville

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement about voluntary insulation groups.

Mr. David Hunt

My Department's Energy Efficiency Office provides grant aid for voluntary sector insulation projects and for the national co-ordinating charity, Neighbourhood Energy Action. The number of projects now operating represents a six fold increase since my right hon. Friend launched his energy efficiency initiative in 1983 and the number will more than double by the end of Energy Efficiency Year 1986.
