HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 cc96-7W
15. Mr. O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy how many households who are on low incomes have been insulated to conserve heat under the energy efficiency scheme since March; how many are budgeted for in the current financial year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Some 37,000 low-income households benefited from the insulation services of community insulation projects in the first quarter of this financial year. For the year as a whole I expect to see not less than 140,000 homes to benefit.
