This has been admitted by Ed Miliband, the Labour minister in charge of the UK energy system and net zero. I think he should have said "WILL" rather than "may". Despite this, the government are still planning to introduce a scheme which will come into force in April, whereby boiler manufacturers will be fined if they fail to sell enough heat pumps.
Companies in the sector have previously warned it would add £120 to the cost of a new boiler – leading it to be dubbed the 'boiler tax'.
