Lord Callanan (Con)
Public acceptability is a key component; that is why we ruled out Whitby for the trial. Redcar is the only other location being considered.
Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Con)
My Lords, does my noble friend agree that decarbonisation would be faster if we had better insulated rental properties, rather than seeing most of the heat go through single-glazed windows, particularly in the north of England?
Lord Callanan (Con)
I would not characterise just rental properties in that way; whatever form of heating is used, better insulation and better performance of buildings is a good thing.
