Labour pledges billions for home energy upgrades bbc.com

The party says a huge program to fund household energy-saving would reduce bills and create jobs.
Labour is pledging to cut UK carbon emissions by 10% through the largest home improvement program for decades.

A Labour government would fund £60bn of energy-saving upgrades, such as loft insulation, enhanced double glazing and new heating systems, by 2030.

Launching the policy on Sunday, Jeremy Corbyn said it "will create a sustainable energy network", adding: "We cannot go on polluting our planet."

The Conservatives said the plan would "wreck the economy" and "put up bills".

Speaking about the policy – called "Warm Homes for All" – in south-west London, Mr Corbyn said that climate change would be a major part of the party's election campaign.
