Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change pursuant to the oral statement of 29 November 2012, Official Report, column 388, on energy policy, how many insulation measures were installed in each of the last 15 years for which data is available.
[132680]
Answer
The following table shows the number of retro-fit installations of cavity wall, loft and solid wall insulation through Government schemes each year between April 2008 and April 2012. Historic figures for the number of properties with insulation measures installed dating back to 1976 are available in 'Energy Consumption in the United Kingdom' in tables 3.15a and 3.15b1. The historic figures are not comparable with those below due to a different methodology employed for the new series which enables estimates on a quarterly basis.
