Mr. Viggers
asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether the neighbourhood energy action scheme begun experimentally in June 1981 will be continued in 1982–83; and what funds his Department will be making available to it.
Mr. Mellor
The neighbourhood energy action scheme has proved most successful so far and will certainly continue. We shall be making £201,500 available in 1982–83 to support the activities of neighbourhood energy action itself and to give preparatory and start-up grants to help the establishment of community insulation projects. This is an increase on the 1981–82 sum of £104,500.
