The Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (England) Regulations 2000
These Regulations enable the Secretary of State to make or arrange for the making of grant for the improvement of energy efficiency in dwellings occupied by persons on low incomes with children, elderly persons on low incomes or persons in receipt of benefit relating to ill health. These Regulations extend to England only. They revoke and re-enact, with changes, in so far as they apply to England, the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme Regulations 1997 (S.I.1997/790), which accordingly still apply to Scotland, as amended (S.I.1999/1018 (S.72)), and to Wales. The functions of the Secretary of State under section 15 of the Social Security Act 1990 are, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, made exercisable concurrently with the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).
