Zero Carbon Delivery Unit

Paul Rowen
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much funding has been allocated to the zero-carbon hub since its inception.

Mr. Iain Wright
Budget 2008 announced that the Government would provide pump-priming funding for a new delivery unit to guide, monitor and coordinate the zero-carbon homes programme. The Zero Carbon Hub, a company limited by guarantee, was launched in June 2008 to take on this role and is now fully functioning. In 2008-09, the Department has agreed to allocate up to £500,000 to the Zero Carbon Hub on a match funding basis and subject to a satisfactory business plan.
