Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, for what reasons his Department extended the deadline for Local Authorities to spend their Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 1 grants.
A three-month extension to the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 1 Funding Period was made available to all Local Authorities, allowing grant spend to be incurred until the end of June 2023, if required, to maximise the outcomes of the scheme by allowing continued delivery of energy efficiency measures to tenants.
