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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much public money has been made available to small and medium-sized enterprises through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has a budget of £450m over three years. Installers certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme can apply on behalf of homeowners and small business owners for grants of up to £6,000 on a first come, first served basis. Further analysis on the size of installer businesses that are benefiting from the scheme will be undertaken as part of the evaluation of the scheme.
