Energy Conservation Schemes

HC Deb 07 May 1998 vol 311 c454W

Mr. Frank Cook

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the reduction in VAT on Government-funded energy conservation schemes will apply at the same level to any payment by a customer towards the cost of works undertaken; and what representations he has received on this subject. [41079]

Dawn Primarolo

Any contribution to the costs of energy saving materials from householders will not be included in the new relief, which is for grant funded work.

I have received no representations on this subject.
