§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring in legislation to remove the means test from housing renovation grants for the disabled.
§ Mr. Yeo[holding answer 13 June 1991]: By applying a test of resources it is possible to ensure that public expenditure is directed towards those people who are in greatest need. There are no plans for legislative changes at present. The new arrangements for house renovation and disabled facilities grants introduced last year will be reviewed later this year. We will consider the need for changes in the light of this review.
