Beccy Cooper Excerpts

Tuesday 6th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Dr Beccy Cooper (Worthing West) (Lab)]

My hometown of Worthing is already delivering a major heat network, but it is not yet designated as a heat network zone. Could the Minister please consider making this designation at the earliest possible opportunity, and ensuring that grid capacity supports early designation for advanced schemes?

[Martin McCluskey]

Heat networks are crucial to future decarbonisation. I would be more than happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss that in detail.
