To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what plans she has to increase investment in 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 £640 million per year.

Additionally, our Private Rented Sector Energy Efficiency Regulations made law from March 2015, will help up to 1 million domestic tenants in the private rented sector. This is expected to grow over time as people move from property to property.
