The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of consumer protections under the ECO 4 scheme.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

ECO4 insulation measures must be installed by TrustMark registered businesses, who are required to adhere to relevant industry standards. Installations of low carbon measures must be carried out in accordance with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) requirements.

Improvements to consumer protection are underway and we will set out plans for root and branch reform as part of the Warm Homes Plan.
