HC Deb 08 May 1991 vol 190 cc531-2W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the progress of the green house demonstration programme.

Mr. Yeo

The response of local authorities to the green house programme for energy efficiency in local authority housing has been very encouraging. In the first round 165 authorities submitted more than 350 bids. As announced on April 10, over 70 schemes, including a "flagship" of particular interest in each region, will be supported in 1991–92.

Applications for support under the programme for 1992–93 will be invited shortly.
