This session was focused on the Energy Efficiency of Existing Homes.

In his first line of questioning, Barry wanted to the witnesses to set out what specfically the strengths of addressing social housing decarbonisation are?

Barry then wanted to know, what are the key things that should be established so that the government spend the promised 3.8bn social housing decarbonisation fund as wisely as possible?

Barry’s questioning also focused on how the Local Authority Delivery scheme could be improved, and whether we should expect a problem in any aspect of the skills base.
