Recommendation 28

The issues raised on energy cost and production by witnesses are familiar concerns which the Committee wishes to reiterate in this report. However the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee is considering the energy supply sector in more depth during its scrutiny of the CCP and so the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee has not explored this in further detail. It notes however that without clarity from the UK Government on electricity pricing it is difficult to see how the public can be persuaded to make the switch from polluting heating systems in sufficient numbers.
