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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if the Government will make funding available for a public energy advice service in England which is equivalent to the funding provided by the Scottish Government to Home Energy Scotland.

By this summer, the Government will launch a comprehensive energy advice service on GOV.UK which will provide advice and information to consumers on improving the energy performance of their homes. The Government will also launch additional support for homeowners through telephone support and specific local area advice for energy consumers with further details, including on any funding, to be announced in due course.
