Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Trudy Harrison and Amanda Solloway

Tuesday 27th February 2024 Commons Chamber

[Amanda Solloway]

The Government are already committed to ensuring that households have the necessary energy efficiency. We have introduced the social housing decarbonisation boiler upgrade scheme, the home upgrade grant and many other initiatives, and we are of course helping all our constituents with affordability.

[Trudy Harrison (Copeland) (Con)]

We have made huge progress in decarbonising our electricity sector, but decarbonising transport and heat is much more tricky. Will the Minister encourage our plans in Copeland to harness any power that can be obtained from new nuclear for that purpose, and will he meet us so that we can discuss those plans?
