asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to make information more freely available to pensioners about grants to cover the cost of insulating their homes.

There are already references to the help which the Supplementary Benefits Commission can give with the cost of things like simple draught proofing in leaflet OC2, "Help with Heating Costs", a new edition of which was published this month. My Department is considering, with the Department of Energy, the possibility of a short leaflet specifically on insulation grants.
