To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the additional cost of meeting emissions reduction targets without the widespread roll-out of energy efficiency measures for buildings.
The Clean Growth Strategy, published earlier this year, set out that we will likely need to decarbonise nearly all heat in buildings and most industrial processes in order to meet the 2050 emissions reduction goal set by the Climate Change Act 2008. The Clean Growth Strategy made clear that there are a number of different scenarios for meeting our 2050 goal and at present, it is not clear which approach will work best at scale and offer the most cost-effective, long term answer. Under all scenarios we will need to improve the energy efficiency of homes and non-domestic buildings, therefore the Clean Growth Strategy outlined a number of policies for achieving this, including:
1. Investing around £3.6 billion to upgrade around a million homes through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). In addition, we will extend support for home energy efficiency beyond the current commitment to fund ECO to 2022 and out to 2028 with funding at least at current ECO levels
2. Developing a long term trajectory to improve the energy performance standards of privately rented homes, with the aim of upgrading as many as possible to EPC Band C by 2030 where practical, cost-effective and affordable, and consulting on equivalent standards for social housing over this period.
3. Following the outcome of the independent review of Building Regulations and fire safety, and subject to its conclusions, consulting on strengthening energy performance standards for new and existing homes under Building Regulations, including futureproofing new homes for low carbon heating systems,
4. Seeking evidence on building a market for energy efficiency, including additional measures to improve energy performance of owner occupied homes through a Call for Evidence published alongside the Clean Growth Strategy.
5. Developing a package of measures to support businesses to improve how productively they use energy, with the aim of improving energy efficiency by at least 20 per cent by 2030, including by consulting on raising minimum standards of energy efficiency for rented commercial buildings.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to learn lessons from the devolved Administrations on improving the energy-efficiency of buildings.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to learn lessons from the devolved Administrations on improving the energy-efficiency of buildings.
In developing our approach to improving the energy efficiency of buildings, the UK Government takes into account evidence and examples of good practice both from the Devolved Administrations and internationally. We will continue to work closely with the Devolved Administrations as we implement the commitments for improving the energy efficiency of buildings set out in the Clean Growth Strategy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what expenditure her Department has allocated from the Healthy Pupils Capital Fund to (a) the Condition Improvement Fund and (b) the School Condition Allocations for the period 2018-19.
£100 million of revenue generated from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy will be utilised for the Healthy Pupils Capital Fund (HPCF). This fund is intended to improve children’s and young people’s physical and mental health by enhancing access to facilities for physical activity, healthy eating, mental health and wellbeing and medical conditions, such as kitchens, dining facilities, changing rooms, playgrounds and sports facilities.
The HPCF is available in 2018-19 and will be allocated through the current arrangements for schools condition funding.
Single and small academy trusts and sixth-form colleges have had the opportunity to bid for HPCF through the Condition Improvement Fund in 2018-19. The bidding round ran between 19 October and 14 December 2017. Local authorities, large multi-academy trusts and other bodies receiving School Condition Allocations (SCA) will receive a direct allocation from the HPCF. This direct allocation is in addition to their normal SCA and will be calculated, announced and paid alongside it.
