The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a national programme to encourage more people to insulate their homes.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government has kickstarted delivery of the Government’s ambitious Warm Homes Plan, which will transform homes across the country by making them cleaner and cheaper to run, from installing new insulation to rolling out solar and heat pumps.

On 30th October, the Chancellor’s Budget committed £3.4 billion over the next 3 years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency. The Government is also exploring the role of incentives and private finance for households to support homeowners with the upfront costs of energy efficiency improvements and low carbon heating.
