Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether it remains her Department's policy to require owners of commercial premises to replace fossil fuel boilers with electric heating systems from 2024.

We are carefully considering the feedback received from our 2021 consultation on phasing out fossil fuel heating systems for off gas grid businesses and public buildings and will publish our response in due course. The Government acknowledges that businesses and organisations require sufficient lead in time to plan installation of a replacement heating system and we will consider this ahead of publishing the consultation response.
