HC Deb 14 May 1990 vol 172 c317W
30. Mr. David Martin

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy how many houses have been insulated since 1982 as a result of Government grants.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Some 3.5 million homes have benefited from grants to loft, tank and pipe insulation under the homes insulation scheme since 1982. Over the same period, community insulation projects, which provide a low-cost insulation—mainly draughtproofing —service for low-income households, have insulated over three quarters of a million homes.
