This is clearly untrue. My colleagues have already spoken about the high level of uptake of the Government's greener homes renewable heat grants programme for the domestic sector. This programme aims to provide renewable energy in more than 10,000 homes.

The Government is pleased to have had this opportunity to set out comprehensively its successful track record and continued ambitions for the national renewable energy resource. By contrast I do not detect that the Opposition has a great deal of strategic thinking to offer.
