To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-20998 by Iain Gray on 8 January 2002, why 43 of the 116 applications made for free central heating in the Scottish Borders area were found to be ineligible.

Nineteen applicants were ineligible because they had a working central heating system and one applicant had not occupied the house for the required 12 months. The remaining 23 was made up of those who had not returned their application forms to EAGA at the time the earlier question was asked. All of those applications have now been processed and qualify for grant. Many have now received their package of measures.
