Plan to scrap gas boiler ban: comment

"An overarching plan for how the UK's homes will become more efficient and move away from relying on gas heating - as high dependency on gas boilers is a major part of the reason the UK was so badly hit by the gas crisis, the Energy Crisis Commission found [2] - surely must be a priority for a government that says it has energy security at the top of it's agenda.

"Every home we insulate and heat pump we install means we need less gas that will increasingly come from abroad as North Sea output continues its inevitable decline. [3] Customers and industry knowing what long term, stable incentives and policies will be in place is essential to add confidence to the insulation and heating sectors which have been badly hit by boom and bust policies and unclear government direction in the past - so an ambitious and clear Warm Homes Plan can't come too soon."
