Homeowners were invited to apply for grants to insulate houses but the scheme is being suddenly ended.
Some 19 million homes in the UK need to be insulated or the emissions from gas boilers will wreck the UK's chances of achieving its climate change targets.
However, in some parts of the country installers were actually overwhelmed with demand, and families could not even get firms to answer the phone. The parallel insulation scheme administered by local authorities is running much more smoothly but ministers still need to create a new programme to nudge able-to-pay home owners into improving their insulation for the UK to hit its climate change targets.A government source pointed out that the Conservatives promised in their manifesto to spend £9bn on insulation - and insisted that this cash would definitely be made available.
"Today's funding boost will mean even more households across England are able to access these vital grants through their local authority.
