10 years to say no new boilers can be installed is not unrealistic. All you need to have is a good supply of an alternative and a supply of maintenance parts for current boilers. You can set that up in 5 years.

Says who? At the moment replacing of the boiler is a couple of grand. Replacing it with a heat pump means replacing boiler, radiators and insulating home. It is completely unrealistic.
In 25 years of house owning I’ve never had to replace a boiler. Service…yes. Repair…yes. Never replace. I’ve even had boilers that are no longer made due to safety regs changing.
Nobody is telling people to rip out their boilers.
Than you don’t have a clue. Unrealistic targets are demotivating and counterproductive - why to try if you don’t have a chance to hit it?
Targets should be realistically achievable with the best effort. This one never was.

I had to. And I wouldn’t be able to replace with the heat pump without thoroughly insulating the house and replacing all the radiators.
