We will work with consumers as we develop policy, starting with new build, and will consult further on policy options during 2018.</p><p> </p><p>A key focus of our policy development will be the cost difference between low and high carbon technologies. We are investing £10 million in an innovation challenge fund to support low carbon heating systems, which will help drive down costs.</p><p>Alongside Winter Fuel Payments and Cold Weather Payments, policies such as the Warm Home Discount and Energy Company Obligation deliver vital support to millions of low income and vulnerable homes each year with heating and insulation measures as well as direct reductions in their energy bills.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>While no specific test for carbon monoxide is undertaken once a gas smart meter has been installed and a gas appliance re-commissioned, energy suppliers are required to comply with a number of existing regulations and other requirements when fitting gas smart meters. These include the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations (1998) and the Meter Asset Managers’ Code of Practice (MAMCOP) which set out the roles, responsibilities and expectations of meter installers when safety issues are identified during meter installation visits.</p><p>Energy suppliers must also comply with the Smart Meter Installation Code of Practice. This states that the installer should inform the customer about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the need to regularly have all gas appliances serviced and checked by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. Energy suppliers are also required as part of their licence conditions to take all reasonable steps to provide, free of charge, information about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and the benefits of fitting an audible carbon monoxide alarm complying with a relevant British or European safety standard to their domestic customers at least once a year.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 05/02/2018 14:39:44 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
