Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail when she will publish the departmental analysis of the responses to the support for low carbon heat in the residential sector consultation.

Answer:

My Department consulted on future support for low carbon heating in residential properties, which closed in January this year. Officials are currently finalising the analysis of responses provided, which will be used to inform policy decisions on the design, rules, and guidance of future support for low carbon heat, including heat pumps. My Department plans to publish a response to the consultation in the coming weeks.
