Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of expanding the Warm Home Discount scheme to people who reside in properties that cannot be insulated.

The Warm Home Discount is targeted at low income households some of whom live in homes that cannot be insulated.

There is no reliable dataset of homes that cannot be insulated so we could not equitably expand the Warm Home Discount eligibility criteria to specifically include that.
