To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, for what reason funding allocated to the Green Homes Grant scheme in financial year 2020-21 will not be rolled over to the extended scheme for use in 2021-22 in the event that funding is not used by the original deadline.

The original funding of up to £1.5 billion for the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme was announced as a short-term stimulus, for use in the 2020/21 financial year. In the 2020 Spending Review, my Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer announced £320 million of funding for the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme for 2021/22, as part of funding allocated to make homes and buildings more energy efficient and less carbon intensive.
