Department for Energy Security and Net Zero written question – answered at on 19 February 2026.
Lord Moynihan
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have commissioned independent audits and data tracking on Chinese imports of all products, services and components required for the roll-out of the UK's Warm Homes Plan.
Lord Whitehead
Shadow Minister (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) (Energy and Climate Change), Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government is introducing sustainable supply chain requirements in contracts and grants. The Procurement Act 2023, now in force, allows contracting authorities to exclude suppliers, helping prevent government contracts from being awarded to those who cannot meet ethical and industry-specific standards. The Overseas Business Risk Guidance highlights regional risks and urges companies to carry out strong due diligence. The Trade Strategy published last year launched a review of responsible business conduct policy.
The Warm Homes Plan is backing British manufacturing, with £140million of investment including through the Heat Pump Investment Accelerator to strengthen supply chains, drive innovation, support workforce training and create high-quality jobs across the UK.
