澳门王中王 President, Simon Allford said: 听
鈥淭he Chancellor鈥檚 commitment to incentivise energy efficiency improvements to our buildings is a welcome step-change. Indeed, it is essential for the nation to both cut energy bills and reduce carbon emissions. 听
A major challenge,听the Government must rise to it through a National Retrofit Strategy 鈥 a long term policy and investment programme for upgrading the energy efficiency of England鈥檚 housing stock. 听
Having said this, we recognise that the scaling back of the Energy Price Guarantee听from two years to six months may cause worry for households facing fuel poverty 鈥 more must be done to reassure them.听
All families deserve to live in safe, well-designed spaces that support long-term wellbeing. We will continue to work with the Government to deliver this.鈥澨
