HC Deb 30 June 1993 vol 227 cc522-3W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 26 May,Official Report, column 619, how many applications for the energy management assistance scheme have so far been received; how many grants have been paid; what are the expected savings in carbon and financial terms from each scheme; arid what proportion of grant scheme is being monitored to assess eventual performance.

Mr. Yeo

Since the scheme started on 1 April 1992 there have been 1,828 applications received and 1,331 grants paid.

A review to assess potential carbon savings on each application will be carried out shortly. Currently average savings identified on each application are 13 to 16 per cent. of energy bills.

Arrangements are in hand to monitor applicants' eventual performance under the scheme, but the proportion of cases to be assessed has not yet been decided.
