§ Mr. MeacherThe Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (HEES) covers Great Britain only. Northern Ireland has always had its own separate scheme. Until 1999, the scheme had shared administration and delivery costs and no separate allocation for England, Scotland and Wales. During 1999–2000, the scheme was devolved to Scotland with a set budget. The total allocation for each year from 1990–91 is as follows, together with the approximate proportion spent in Scotland and Wales: 397W
