We continue to drive energy efficiency improvements for lower-income and fuel-poor households, through schemes including the energy company obligation, the social housing decarbonisation scheme and the homes upgrade grant.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns (Morley and Outwood) (Con)

Talking of fuel poverty, the boiler tax results in consumers paying an extra £150 when they purchase a new boiler.
