Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they will take to support local authorities who are not included in the initial 22 authorities receiving £67m in the first phase of the Home Upgrade Grant.
£1.1 billion has been allocated to the Home Upgrade Grant since 2020. This £67 million was an extension of £152 million allocated to successful local authorities under the Sustainable Warmth competition, bringing the first phase of HUG to a total of £219 million. BEIS are working across government and with key stakeholders to decide the final policy scope and delivery approach for future funding iterations until 2025.
