Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate she has made of the number of households that will no longer receive (a) insulation and (b) heat pump installations as a result of the reduction in funding for the Warm Homes Plan.
Our Warm Homes Plan will continue to upgrade homes and drive down bills. We remain committed to upgrading up to 5 million homes by 2030 using a range of measures to do so, including Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, our new Warm Home Loans Scheme and the Future Homes Standard.
We remain committed to electrification, and to the target of 450,000 heat pump installations per year by 2030. We will maintain the Boiler Upgrade Scheme funding at current funding levels in 2027-28, rising broadly in line with expected inflation,
