Asked by: Lord Blencathra (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what support they plan to give to the construction industry to use UK industrial hemp as a carbon neutral insulation material.
Answered by Lord Whitehead - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The recently published Warm Homes Plan – the biggest public investment in home upgrades in British history – unlocked £38 billion in total investment across the Parliament to support the UK supply chain, and with additional funding for skills, innovation and UK manufacturing, the plan will ensure that British workers and businesses reap the benefits. The government does not promote any one individual product over another.
