HC Deb 26 March 1990 vol 170 c85W
18. Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what plans he has to review the amount of grant now paid towards home insulation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

My right hon. Friend is taking powers in the Social Security Bill which, if approved, will lead to the introduction of a new scheme of grants for energy efficiency measures in low-income households. The amount of grant payable to an individual applicant under the scheme will depend upon the work undertaken; the allowable maximum still has to be settled.
