The warmer homes scheme is really for people who receive the working family dividend or are in the fuel scheme. It gives priority to the worst affected. There seems to be criticism of the scheme but it seems to me to be pretty well targeted. We can always say it should scale up but when a scheme is free, there will be a lot of people queueing to get it. It is a very generous scheme.
