Answered by Mary Mulligan on 3 Sep 2003 · 62 days after it was lodged, 34 days after it was due

Local authorities’ reports under the Home Energy Conservation Act show that a number of them do have dedicated home energy conservation officers. Others incorporate energy conservation with relevant functions such as control of council stock or housing improvements. It is for local authorities to decide what works best for their areas and the Executive will not be giving them directions on how to deploy their staff.
The Scottish Executive does not plan to direct local authorities to employ dedicated home energy conservation officers.
