tabling member constituency	Bristol East

uin	21937
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2024 answer text <p>Between 1990 and 2023, provisional statistics show total greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings and product use sectors have fallen by an estimated 28%. However, in the same time period, emissions from commercial buildings have risen by 3% largely due to the use of natural gas for heating. To address this issue, the UK Government is working with industry to understand how to decarbonise commercial buildings in an affordable and appropriate manner, including through supporting energy efficiency improvements, developing the market for heat pumps, and developing heat network capacity. This approach is detailed in the Heat and Buildings Strategy, which can be accessed <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F61d450eb8fa8f54c14eb14e4%2F6.7408_BEIS_Clean_Heat_Heat___Buildings_Strategy_Stage_2_v5_WEB.pdf&amp;data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C7a7f1a2d7ad3479801ae08dc603b95f1%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638491056248036734%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=5oapttsYvNwBBFwFUGiydCG9LY6qLTQHVo%2BvIT2Bsh8%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">here.</a></p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 19/04/2024 12:54:26 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway

The UK is following closely the independent review led by Catherine Colonna which is assessing the mechanisms and procedures that the Agency currently has in place to ensure neutrality.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 19/04/2024 12:41:03 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
