The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what lessons his Department has learned from the (a) Warm Front and (b) Warmer Homes Scotland schemes.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The government is keen to learn from previous energy efficiency schemes, and from the devolved administrations.

Fuel poverty is devolved, and we will work with the devolved administrations to share best practice on how to tackle fuel poverty and deliver energy efficiency improvements. We are currently consulting on a new fuel poverty strategy for England.

We have kickstarted delivery of the Government’s 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. Further details on the Warm Homes Plan will be set out in due course.
