The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dan Jarvis on 2016-04-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what steps her Department is taking to increase the installation of home insulation.

Andrea Leadsom

We have made a commitment to insulate 1 million more homes this Parliament.

We are providing support for households to improve their energy efficiency through a reformed domestic supplier obligation (ECO) from April 2017. This will run for five years, with a value of around £640 million per year.

Additionally, our Private Rented Sector Energy Efficiency Regulations, made law from March 2015, will help domestic tenants in the private rented sector by making it illegal to rent out a property with an energy efficiency rating below band E from April 2018 onwards.
