The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sharon Hodgson on 2014-03-31.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what steps he is taking to help households improve their energy efficiency.

Gregory Barker

Over 600,000 homes have received energy efficiency improvements so far as a result of the Coalition’s Energy Company Obligation and Green Deal initiatives. Green Deal assessments are stimulating interest and there had been over 160,000 by the end of February. Yesterday we announced additional £88 million from the Government to drive street by street roll out under the Green Deal Communities scheme.

We expect the Green Deal market to continue to expand in 2014 and beyond.
