Warm Homes Plan

Debate between Jayne Kirkham and Ellie Chowns

Tuesday 18th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dr Chowns]

My hon. Friend is entirely right about the particular problems that we face in rural areas. This is relevant to the point made earlier by the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon): we must support the most vulnerable households.

[Jayne Kirkham (Truro and Falmouth) (Lab/Co-op)]

I agree that rural households such as those in my part of Cornwall desperately need the warm homes plan. Does the hon. Member agree that other sources of energy provision—for instance, ground source heat pumps and liquid fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil—could also be included, and would be a good addition to the plan when it arrives, which we hope will be soon?
