Written question asked by Paddy Tipping (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It was answered by Joan Ruddock (Labour) on Tuesday, 23 March 2010 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.


Boilers: Government Assistance

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change when he expects funding allocated to the boiler scrappage scheme to be exhausted; whether he plans to provide additional funding for the scheme; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The boiler scrappage scheme works on a "first come, first served" basis. The funding will be exhausted when there is insufficient resource available to support the issuing of further vouchers under the £50 million allocated to the scheme. The scheme has been very popular. Any decision on the provision of additional funding for the scheme would be a matter for consideration as part of the usual budgetary cycle.
