(2) what monitoring is undertaken by his Department of enveloping schemes; and whether he is satisfied with the current level of supervision by local authorities of contractors' work carried out in conjunction with these schemes.

To date, more than 7,000 dwellings have benefited by this innovative approach at a cost of more than £47 million.
The Department liaises very closely with local authorities as schemes are being developed and while the work is in progress.
