The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of progress on meeting targets to end fuel poverty by 2030.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government is committed to tackling fuel poverty. We are currently reviewing the fuel poverty strategy and engaging with stakeholders as part of this process. We will publish a consultation on a new strategy in due course. The Secretary of State has already announced the launch of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and Warm Homes: Local Grant, as well as the intention to consult on new minimum energy efficiency standards in the social and private rented sectors.
