Lord Davies of Leek

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What amount of money they have allocated to encourage industry to convert to coal-fired boilers; and what success there has been in encouraging an additional coal-burn of over 2 million tonnes a year.

Lord Cockfield

Under the coal-firing scheme £50 million grant has been allocated to encourage switching to coal-firing. The scheme is on target to achieve an additional coal-burn of at least 2 million tonnes per year once all the projects are completed.
