Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Claire Coutinho, has admitted to GB News that she does not have a heat pump.

Asked if she has had a heat pump installed at her home, she said: “No. So, I don't at the moment, but this is I think exactly the same thing that lots of people in the country face, they don't have the cash to do it or they don’t have the suitable home.

“But that is not the position of other parties…so I think if you want a sensible approach on this agenda, then we are one of the only people putting it forward.”
