To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if his Department will place a copy of Fire Research Station Report CR143/94, entitled Investigation of the behaviour of external cladding systems in fire: Report on 10 full-scale fire tests, in the Library.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if his Department will place a copy of Fire Research Station Report CR143/94, entitled Investigation of the behaviour of external cladding systems in fire: Report on 10 full-scale fire tests, in the Library.
This report was prepared by the Fire Research Station, part of the Building Research Establishment, in 1994. The Department is in contact with the Building Research Establishment to obtain a copy of the report.

Ofgem’s Domestic Suppliers Social Obligation: 2011 Annual Report shows the average level of consumer debt held by energy consumers in 2010 was £360 for electricity and £339 for gas, and in 2011 £357 for electricity and £371 for gas. The Ofgem report ‘vulnerable consumers in the retail energy market 2017’ shows the average level of debt at the point customers start to repay “take-on debt” from 2012 to 2016. The methodology for reporting debt levels changed in 2012. This means it is not possible to provide a like for like comparison from 2010 through to 2016.
Figure 6 in the Ofgem report shows the average level of debt from 2012 to 2016, and can be found at: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/docs/2017/10/consumer_vulnerability_report_web_003.pdf
The fuel poverty strategy has interim milestones to improve fuel poor homes to Band E by 2020 and Band D by 2025. This guides an approach to targeting the least energy efficient properties first, as they are facing the most severe problem. The latest official statistics show that there were 835,000 fewer E, F or G rated fuel poor homes in 2015 compared to 2010. This focus on the least energy efficient homes does mean that fewer D rated homes are improved to Band C, within the same budget. The latest statistics show that 8% of fuel poor households are were rated Band C or better in 2015 and this is projected to increase to 11% in 2017.
We will continue to make progress towards the fuel poverty milestones and 2030 target. The Clean Growth Strategy recently committed to at least £640m of support per year for home energy efficiency through to 2028 and we will be consulting in the new year on our proposals for the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) to run from 2018 to 2022. In parallel, we will be considering the best forms of support for home energy efficiency over the longer term for subsequent consultation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of homes insulated at Energy Performance Certificate Band D or below in each year since 2010; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of homes insulated at Energy Performance Certificate Band D or below in each year since 2010; and if he will make a statement.
The energy performance ratings of homes are influenced by a number of factors beyond insulation, including the heating system deployed.
Since 2010 the number of homes in England rated EPC band D or below has fallen by 2.4 million.

Based on weighted English Housing Survey data
Since 2013, around 2.3 million energy efficiency measures were installed in around 1.8 million properties in Great Britain through the Energy Company Obligation and under Green Deal related schemes to the end of July 2017. Around 1.5 million of these installed measures were insulation measures.

The number of fuel poor households which have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) below Band C can be seen in the table below:
| Band F/G | Band E | Band D | Total Below Band C | ||||
| Number of fuel poor households (000’s) | Proportion of all in this Band that are fuel poor (%) | Number of fuel poor households (000’s) | Proportion of all in this Band that are fuel poor (%) | Number of fuel poor households (000’s) | Proportion of all in this Band that are fuel poor (%) | Number of fuel poor households (000’s) | Proportion of all in this Band that are fuel poor (%) |

Since April 2017, the Energy Company Obligation has been 70% focussed on low income households. The scheme will improve the energy efficiency of over 300,000 homes per year. Combined with rebates of £140 for over 2 million low income households through the Warm Home Discount, this will be over £770m of support in 2017/18.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy published the ‘ECO: Help to Heat’ Final Stage Impact Assessment in January 2017. The number of homes treated under ECO 2 (April 2015 – March 2017) and the estimated number of homes treated under the ECO extension period (April 2017 – September 2018) are presented in section 9.4 (page 10) in the Final Stage Impact Assessment. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/586266/ECO_Transition_Final_Stage_IA__For_Publication_.pdf

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of the number of homes due to have insulating measures installed through the Energy Company Obligation in each of the next 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
The Department estimates that around 520,000 homes (or 260,000 per year) will be treated with 365,000 insulated, between April 2015 and the end of the current stage of ECO (in March 2017).
