Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Martin McCluskey and Sarah Dyke

Tuesday 18th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Dyke (Glastonbury and Somerton) (LD)]

T8. Gareth from Pitney lives in an off-grid home. He has no affordable heating options available to him other than oil. Despite being really keen to transition to renewable energy, it will cost him about £20,000 to do so. What steps is the Minister taking to support off-grid homeowners to transition to sustainable heating alternatives, and what assessment has he made of using renewable liquid heating fuels?

[Martin McCluskey]

The warm homes plan, which will be launched before the end of the year, will address issues in rural homes. The hon. Member may also be interested to know that a consultation on alternative heating fuels was launched today, and she and some of her constituents may want to submit a response to it.
