Context
The question pertains to ensuring that the forthcoming carbon budget delivery plan supports people on low and middle incomes. This is a crucial issue as energy transitions can disproportionately affect lower income households.
What steps he is taking to ensure the forthcoming carbon budget delivery plan includes measures to financially support people on low and middle incomes?
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I thank the hon. Lady for her continued advocacy on this agenda. I have enjoyed working with her from the Back Benches and hope to continue to do so in this new post. I am excited to share with her and the whole House the carbon budget growth and delivery plan later this month. What I can say now is that ensuring that low and middle-income families can benefit from the energy transition is absolutely central to our mission. It is why we are rolling out the biggest home upgrade scheme in a generation and why we are moving away from expensive fossil fuels towards cheap, clean British power in homes and communities across our country.
