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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to (a) encourage and (b) support those on middle incomes to make their homes more energy efficient.

In the Energy White Paper, the Government committed to consult on regulatory measures to improve the energy performance of homes, alongside a package of incentives and supporting policies. This was reaffirmed in the Net Zero Strategy.

The Government will continue to invest in energy efficiency and support homeowners outside such regulations.

Catalysing the market for Green Finance is a priority for Government to help support homeowners not eligible for grants with the upfront costs of improvement.
