A government project to improve the energy efficiency of Island homes will be discussed in the House of Keys tomorrow.

In the sitting, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask the Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister what changes have been made to the Energy Efficiency Scheme since it started.

He also wants to know what is being done to increase the amount of residents getting involved with the programme.

The initiative - aimed at making existing properties kinder to the environment - is offering grants of up to £1,000 for home improvements.
