Labour’s plan to insulate more homes ‘would create 4m job opportunities’

Scheme aims to raise standard of insulation in 19m of the UK's leakiest homes

Labour has said that job opportunities for almost 4 million workers would be created under its plan to bring 19m of the UK's leakiest homes up to an acceptable standard of insulation.

While it has previously said that the plan would reduce annual household energy bills by up to 500, the party has set out details of what it said would be a major expansion of the retrofitting workforce.
