Conservative, Bromsgrove
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the annual heat pump installation targets are for each year between 2026 and 2035.
Martin McCluskey
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Government does not set annual targets for heat pump installations, however we are working to facilitate the growth of the market, consumer offers available, and the market for green finance. We will continue to support households with the cost of heat pump installations through our support schemes. We will set out more details in the Warm Homes Plan.
We support supply chain growth through the reformed Clean Heat Market Mechanism, invest in manufacturing capacity through the Heat Pump Investment Accelerator, and help installers train through the Heat Training Grant.
Our expectation is that the vast Majority of end-of-life heating system replacements will be with heat pumps and other low-carbon technologies, as these become the natural, affordable choice.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
The term "majority" is used in two ways in Parliament. Firstly a Government cannot operate effectively unless it can command a majority in the House of Commons - a majority means winning more than 50% of the votes in a division. Should a Government fail to hold the confidence of the House, it has to hold a General Election. Secondly the term can also be used in an election, where it refers to the margin which the candidate with the most votes has over the candidate coming second. To win a seat a candidate need only have a majority of 1.
