– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 9 November 2000.
Question S1W-10671
To ask the Scottish Executive whether funding will be available under its central heating initiative for the replacement of existing obsolete or expensive heating systems.
The initiative is intended to help those most vulnerable to cold and damp: an estimated 140,000 households who currently lack any form of central heating. Local authorities should continue to replace obsolescent systems as part of their ongoing housing capital improvement programmes. Housing Associations should also continue their replacement programmes. The Housing Bill will set out the Executive’s proposals to reform the improvement grant system to allow local authorities to give assistance at rates up to 100% for the installation or replacement of heating systems for low income households in the private sector.
