Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 2.40 of the document entitled, Plan for Jobs, CP 261, what the timeframe is for the 600,000 to be upgraded.

The Plan for Jobs announced that over £2 billion will be provided to support homeowners and landlords to make their homes more energy-efficient in 2020-21. Funding for future years will be considered as part of the Spending Review.

This could support more than 100,000 green jobs, upgrade more than 600,000 homes across the country, and save households hundreds of pounds a year on their energy bills.

Further details on the Green Homes Grant scheme will be announced in the coming weeks before its full launch in the Autumn.
