Questions & Answers

Q1 Al Pinkerton Lib Dem Surrey Heath
Context

The National Audit Office reported that homes insulated under previous government schemes are at risk of damp and mould unless remediated.

Question

What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that homes in Surrey Heath insulated under those schemes are remediated in a timely and trustworthy manner, and what assessment has he made of the role that home insulation will play in our wider efforts to reduce bills but also protect climate and nature?

Answer from The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Martin McCluskey)

All those affected by the ECO4 situation will receive letters offering them a free audit, many have already received these letters. I encourage hon Members across the House to make sure that their constituents are taking up this offer as it is the gateway to remediation. The future system is being designed on principles ensuring we do not get into a situation like this ever again.
