The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate his Department has made of the number of homes in North East Somerset and Hanham constituency to be fitted with low-carbon heating systems under policies supporting Carbon Budget 7.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

Information on heat pumps and biomass boilers installed through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is published in Table Q1.3 of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Statistics release. By the end of March 2026, 238 heat pumps and fewer than 5 biomass boilers had been installed in North East Somerset and Hanham.

At least 16 further air source heat pumps had been installed under the Energy Company Obligation by the end of March 2026, as published in Table 3.7 of the Household Energy Efficiency Statistics release.

Heat pumps may also have been installed under other schemes, but constituency-level data are not published.
