£6m funding boost for home insulation

UP to 10,000 householders could get help to cut fuel bills this winter as the Scottish Government announces a £6 million insulation scheme.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the money would make homes "warmer and cheaper to heat".

But in a report last week, environmental charity WWF Scotland said more than £6 billion is needed to achieve Holyrood's commitment to end fuel poverty by 2016.
