Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Miatta Fahnbulleh)
At the 2024 autumn Budget, £1.8 billion was allocated to local authorities and social housing providers, supporting them to deliver warmer and more energy-efficient homes across the country, targeting low-income households in particular. This goes alongside our plans to raise standards in rented properties to ensure that no social or private renter has to live in a cold, draughty home.
