Not too late to insulate homes this winter, says Lord Deben

Climate Change Committee chair says measures needed to cut energy bills will also help reach net zero

Tackling the cost of living crisis requires insulating British homes as a matter of urgency and deploying renewable energy generation faster, the chair of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) has said.

Lord Deben, a Conservative former environment secretary, said the measures needed to bring down energy bills were the same as those needed to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
