(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Home Energy Efficiency Scheme Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/790, as amended) provide for the making of grants for the improvement of energy efficiency in dwellings occupied by persons on low income or elderly persons. These Regulations amend those 1997 Regulations as regards Scotland only by inserting a new Part (Part II) which provides for a central heating programme under which grant may be paid to elderly persons. The 1997 Regulations will become Part I of the Regulations.
