This statutory instrument details the framework and eligibility criteria for grants related to home insulation in Great Britain, as enabled by the Housing Act 1985. It outlines the specific provisions for issuing these grants, including the dates of effect, making, and regional application. The order serves as a legal document to implement government policy on improving domestic energy efficiency.

As a statutory instrument, its reception is primarily legal and administrative rather than public or critical. Its authority stems directly from the enabling legislation, and its impact is measured by its implementation and adherence within the housing and energy sectors. The order's effectiveness would be assessed based on its success in facilitating home insulation grants and contributing to energy efficiency targets.
