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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of retrofit housing stock to help ensure it is energy efficient.

The Government believes that improving insulation measures in homes is one of the best long-term solutions for reducing household energy costs and fuel poverty. Improving insulation across the UK’s housing stock also aligns with the commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The Government has committed £6.6 billon across the lifetime of this Parliament to decarbonise heat and buildings.
