<p>The Government is committed to working closely with industry and consumer groups
on a new value for money approach to the future policy framework for energy efficiency,
learning lessons from past approaches. Alongside its specific manifesto commitment
of supporting low cost measures on energy efficiency with the goal of insulating a
million more homes over the next five years, supporting our commitment to tackle fuel
poverty, this Government is also committed to keeping energy bills as low as possible
as part of a long-term, coherent and affordable policy framework. That framework,
which will take full account of our legally binding commitments on climate change
and on fuel poverty, will focus on enabling consumers to take up the measures that
are right for them and their home, whether solid wall insulation or other measures.
We are soon to see Peter Hansford’s Review on Solid Wall Insulation for the Green
Construction Board and that will help inform policy affecting the technology as will
the recommendations from the Committee on Climate Change.</p>
