Commenting on the unveiling of the Green Homes Grant scheme in England, Shadow Minister for Housing, Heritage, Culture and Media, David Melding MS, said:
“Bolstering the economy and protecting homeowners have been two of the biggest priorities of the UK Conservative Government, and today’s announcement of the ambitious Green Homes Grant scheme - vouchers for energy-saving home improvements - will help families in England even further.
“The vouchers - worth up to £5,000 and £10,000 for the poorest – can be used on a range of environmentally-friendly improvements, including low-energy lighting and double glazing.
“As a matter of urgency, I encourage the Welsh Labour-led Government to take note and adopt this pioneering scheme, so the people of Wales can also receive the same benefits as those across the border.”
