<p>In his Summer Economic Update, the Chancellor announced a £2 billion Green Home
Grant scheme that will support homeowners and landlords in England to improve the
energy efficiency of their properties, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions,
and supporting a green economic recovery.</p><p>The funding will be spent on paying
for accredited tradespeople to install a range of measures, for example insulation,
to improve the energy performance of their homes. Further detail on measures will
be announced in the coming days, before the full launch.</p><p>The Secretary of State
for Defra has not had a specific conversation with the SoS for BEIS about funding
water efficiency measures through the Green Home Grant scheme. The Government intends
to publish its response to the <em>Measures to reduce personal water consumption </em>consultation
before the end of 2020. This will set out the next steps for water efficiency in England.</p>
