The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to direct local authorities to employ dedicated home energy conservation officers.
The answer

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.
