What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Chancellor announced budget cuts exceeding £3 billion to the energy department, much of which will fund higher defense spending. These cuts include £741 million from the boiler upgrade scheme, which incentivizes the replacement of gas boilers with electric heat pumps. Experts warn that these reductions make it difficult to meet clean heating targets.
