The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help improve the insulation of housing.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Warm Homes Plan will help people find ways to save money on energy bills and transform our ageing building stock into comfortable, low-carbon homes that are fit for the future.

As the first step towards the Warm Homes Plan, the Government has committed an initial £3.4 billion over the next 3 years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency. In 2025-2026 alone, we will be upgrading up to 300,000 homes, using around £1 billion of Warm Homes Plan money, social housing provider co-funding, and further support through the Energy Company Obligation and the Great British Insulation Scheme.

We will set out further details on the Warm Homes Plan in due course.
