Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an estimate of the number of jobs lost across the ECO4 supply chain since the scheme's closure was announced.
The Department has not made an estimate of the number of jobs lost across the ECO4 supply chain since the closure of the scheme was announced. ECO4 does not operate through a discrete workforce and many businesses and workers also deliver activity under other government and commercial programmes. The Government recognises that the closure of ECO4 presents challenges for parts of the supply chain and has engaged closely with industry to understand impacts, including on the workforce. Officials continue to monitor developments and support the transition to opportunities created through the Warm Homes Plan and wider home energy efficiency programmes.
