To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will state for each year since 1979 (a) spending by local authorities under the energy conservation programme in cash and real terms for Wales and by local authority and (b) the number of dwellings receiving energy efficiency improvements in Wales and by local authority.

The available information on dwellings receiving energy efficiency improvements under the energy conservation programme or the homes insulation scheme are shown in the following tables for years since 1982. Figures for earlier years appear in table 10 of "Local Housing Statistics No. 66", a copy of which is available in the Library. Information on spending by local authorities under the energy conservation programme is not collected centrally.

1 Figures for Wales were not collected from April 1981 to December 1983. Figures relate to activity where the only work carried out to the dwelling is under the energy conservation programme. Local authority dwellings may also be insulated when other general renovation work is carried out, but these cases cannot be separately identified.
