Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the assessment criteria was for defining the primary and secondary measures within the Green Homes Grant; and when those measures will be reviewed.

The Primary measures in the scheme were chosen because they support jobs, are cost effective and have a large impact on carbon emissions. These measures tend to be those that householders would not install in the absence of the scheme and so government intervention through the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme will increase uptake. The Secondary measures are those that have a more limited impact on carbon emissions, but which still offer benefits in terms of energy efficiency.

We are keeping the scheme eligibility including eligible measures under review.
