Liberal Democrat — Sutton and Cheam

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 January 2026

Debate

Consumer Energy Bills: Government Support

Contribution

I wholeheartedly agree. As an engineer by background, I think we need to focus on the outcome and the goal, rather than prejudicing the tool. While air-source heat pumps are suitable in many cases, they rely on air tightness and insulation, which may well be a barrier to quick implementation. The Liberal Democrats have been calling for a 10-year emergency home upgrade programme, starting with free insulation and heat pumps for those on low incomes.
