Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to review the maximum grant of #500 payable under the "Warm Deal in Scotland" programme.
Answer
With effect from 1 July, the maximum grant will be increased from £315 to £500. We have no present plans for any further increase. In contrast to the previous more limited scheme, the new Warm Deal will provide a more extensive package of works, comprising cavity wall insulation or loft and tank insulation, together with hot tank and pipe insulation, draughtproofing, 4 energy efficient lightbulbs and energy advice.
