(asked on 11th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of homes insulated at Energy Performance Certificate Band D or below in each year since 2010; and if he will make a statement.
The energy performance ratings of homes are influenced by a number of factors beyond insulation, including the heating system deployed.
Since 2010 the number of homes in England rated EPC band D or below has fallen by 2.4 million.
