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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of setting targets for the number of existing homes improved to EPC band C or above.

Chris Skidmore MP is currently conducting an independent review of the Government’s approach to meeting its net zero 2050 target, including the Government's approach to improving the energy performance of homes. This is to ensure the Government delivers its legal commitment to reach net zero by 2050 in a way that is pro-business and pro-growth.

The Government remains committed to improving the energy performance of homes and reducing Fuel Poverty. The Government is investing £12 billion in Help to Heat schemes to make sure homes are warmer and cheaper to heat.
