Lord Callanan (Con)
The noble Baroness makes a valid point. Heat networks are probably more appropriate for most flats—for instance, you could have one heat pump in the basement that would heat all the flats—but for some cases she is right.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)
My Lords, what is the Government’s estimate of the cost of meeting this target and who will pay for it?
Lord Callanan (Con)
That depends on what target the noble Lord is referring to. There are a number of different targets but a substantial amount of government funding is going into this—some £450 million for the boiler upgrade scheme and £6.6 billion to decarbonise heating generally.
