Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much funding his Department plans to provide to (i) Milton Keynes City Council and (ii) Buckinghamshire Council to implement the Government's energy-efficiency programmes.

The government recognises the essential role that local places will play in delivering the Warm Homes Plan. Low-income grant funding will continue to be delivered through the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG) and Warm Homes Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF), honouring existing funding agreements. From 2027/28 onwards, we intend to integrate the WH:LG and WH:SHF into a single low-income capital scheme which will shift towards area-based delivery. We will say more about the future of these schemes by Spring 2026.

The government will further support local government through:

• The new Warm Homes Fund to help accelerate existing consumer offers for solar PV.
• The new Warm Homes Agency to support local partnerships and help build capacity.
• Funding for five Local Net Zero Hubs to provide expertise and resources.

Integrated settlements for some Mayoral Combined Authorities, including retrofit funding, by 2028.
