As of 7 June £10.22 billion has been paid out to over 832,000 eligible business properties. On 1 May, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy announced a further up to £617 million available to Local Authorities in England to support businesses that are out of scope of the existing schemes.</p><p>Where a local authority has funding remaining after having paid grants to all eligible businesses, they will need to undertake a reconciliation exercise with government. We will be providing further details of this, and timing for the delivery of remaining funding to eligible businesses, in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/06/2020 16:11:31 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	question text	Her Majesty's Government how many domestic boilers they anticipate will be sold every year for the next 10 years; and what they estimate the carbon emissions for those boilers will be.
	tabling member printed	Lord Foster of Bath
	uin	HL4962
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2020 answer text <p>There are close to 2 million heating appliances sold in the UK each year, over 80% of which are domestic gas boilers. Gas boiler sales are likely to remain at a similar level in the immediate future. However, industry projections for heating appliance sales in 2020 are being revised due to the impact of covid-19.</p><p> </p><p>Emissions from individual homes depend on the size and energy efficiency of the property. As a result of minimum energy efficiency requirements for new gas boilers, introduced in 2018, the average household that switches from an average gas boiler can save 200kgCo2 per year.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to reducing the emissions produced from heating our homes by increasing energy efficiency and utilising clean heating technologies to meet our net zero commitments. The immediate steps to tackle these emissions will be set out as part of the Heat and Buildings Strategy, which we aim to publish later in the year.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/06/2020 13:57:18 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
