answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government has a range of initiatives to help consumers take control of their energy bills by making energy efficiency improvements. These include the Green Deal, the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund, Green Deal Communities and the Energy Company Obligation. <br> <br> These initiatives supported the improvement of over 790,000 homes between January 2013 and August 2014, and we are on track to meet our target of improving the energy efficiency of 1 million homes by March 2015.</p><p>Vouchers issued through the popular first phase of GDHIF have resulted in an on-going pipeline of work that is improving homes and we expect around 20,000 households will benefit.</p><p>An additional £100 million for UK household energy efficiency announced last month will be used to launch a new phase of GDHIF later this month. This is in addition to providing longer term certainty for the market through the extension of ECO until 2017.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 06/11/2014 16:18:12 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd
