HC Deb 23 November 1990 vol 181 cc250-1W
Mr. Cartwright

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what representations he has received about the inclusion of low-energy light bulbs in the home energy efficiency scheme; and what has been his response.

Mr. Baldry

One respondent to the consultation paper on the home energy efficiency scheme (HEES) published earlier this year sought to have the provision of low-energy light bulbs brought within the scheme. HEES is being introduced under powers taken in section 15 of the Social Security Act 1990, which do not enable the scheme to be extended to cover grant for provision of low-energy lighting.
