Insulation: Housing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support people to remove spray foam insulation from their homes.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Any measures fitted under government schemes must be fitted to the highest standards with issues promptly and properly rectified. Consumers are entitled to repair work by the original installer or, failing that, they can use their guarantee provided on installation. TrustMark can support them through this process.

The Government recognises that the consumer protection system that we inherited needs reform, we will press ahead with a sweeping overhaul through the Warm Homes Plan.
