£5,000 grants unveiled to support home heat pump installation

Funding comes as part of government's heat and buildings strategy, but campaigners say plan lacks ambition

Ministers have unveiled plans for 5,000 grants to allow people to install home heat pumps and other low-carbon boiler replacements as part of a wider heat and buildings strategy that some campaigners warned lacked sufficient ambition and funding.

Labour also condemned the plans as more of Boris Johnson's hot air", without sufficient substance.
