§ Mr. McNulty
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister estimates that it would cost between£500 and£600 million (at 2001 prices) to provide 200 mm loft insulation for all council homes with less than 200 mm loft insulation. The data for this estimate are taken from the 2001 English House Condition Survey.
