Ceist:70 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for the Environment the cost of funding a new house improvement grant scheme expressed in 1994 prices.
Vol. 434 No. 9
70 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for the Environment the cost of funding a new house improvement grant scheme expressed in 1994 prices.
78 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment the estimated cost annually of reintroducing a house repair grant system; if, in view of the large number of vested local authority houses that do not have bathroom facilities, he will give his views on whether this expenditure is justified.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 70 and 78 together.
The cost of any new house improvement grants scheme would depend on the categories of work for which grants might be available, the level of grant for each category and the other conditions of eligibility.
