HC Deb 24 November 1986 vol 106 c11W
14. Mr. Baldry

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what advice his Department makes available to elderly people to try to ensure cost-effective heating of their homes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

My Department's Energy Efficiency Office is currently giving such advice through the biggest publicity campaign ever aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the domestic sector. The office publishes a full range of supporting literature, and elderly people are also helped through the 120 new Government-backed voluntary sector insulation projects which have started during Energy Efficiency Year.
