We are currently consulting on the 2016/17 scheme and will be publishing our proposals for the design of the future Warm Home Discount scheme (from 2017 onwards) for consultation later this year.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 27/04/2016 12:03:31 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
