Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he will take to increase manufacturing capacity for the creation of heat pumps.

The Government is supporting the development of a thriving heat pump supply chain in the United Kingdom through a package of measures to create demand, supporting innovation and providing fiscal support to onshore manufacturing. Recent investment in British manufacturing of heat pumps by companies like Mitsubishi, Vaillant and Ideal Boilers demonstrates that manufacturers are responding to policy signals and the United Kingdom continues to be a great place to invest.
