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.
