ANSWERS BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Boilers: Fossil Fuels Mohammad Yasin: [99703] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to reduce the use of fossil fuelled boilers; and if he will introduce targets to phase them out. Kwasi Kwarteng: In order to meet our net zero commitment, we must transition away from fossil fuel heating systems. We are developing policies to support the deployment of low carbon heating supporting consumers financially to help them transition away from fossil fuel heating through initiatives such as the Renewable Heat Incentive. We are spending £2.8bn between 2018 and 2021 through the Renewable Heat Incentive, to support the deployment of low carbon technologies such as heat pumps. We also recently launched the Green Homes Grant vouchers scheme meaning homeowners and residential landlords can receive up to £5000 towards the installation of an approved low carbon heating measure. In due course we shall be setting out our proposals for the decarbonisation of heat in the Heat and Building Strategy. In addition, in the Future Homes Standards

    Michelle Donelan MP Minister of State for Universities Sanctuary Buildings 20 Great Smith Street Westminster London SW1P 3BT tel: 0370 000 2288 www.education.gov.uk/help/contactus 17th March 2021 Rt Hon Robert Halfon MP Chair Education Select Committee OPPORTUNITY AREAS You asked the Minister for Children and Families, Vicky Ford MP, to write to you regarding the Opportunity Areas. However, it was agreed that I should write, as the OAs form part of my portfolio. Overview As you know, the OAs are 12 areas with historically poor educational attainment and low social mobility; they form part of my Department’s contribution to the Government’s ambition of levelling up. We invested £72m in the OAs over the first three years of the programme (2017-20), and are investing a further £18m this year. This note details some of the things we have invested in and the impact we are having. However, it is important to explain upfront that the OAs are not just 12 sets of initiatives. Each one is taking a place-based approach to achieving lasting culture and system change. The changes in each area are chosen to respond directly to the specific local context. They are co-designed by local leaders, and therefore have longer-lasting buy-in from them. The aim in each area is not just to run a successful set of one-off initiatives but to strengthen the local system’s capacity to sustain and improve itself in the longer term. This place-based approach is even more important in the context of Covid.
