The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government plans to establish a mandatory single quality scheme for the low carbon home upgrades market.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The Government is committed to ensuring high standards and strong consumer protections in the delivery of low carbon home upgrades. We recognise that the current system can be complex, with multiple organisations involved, which can create confusion for both consumers and installers.

We are currently consulting on proposals to strengthen consumer protections for home upgrades delivered through government schemes and the wider market. A core objective is to reduce fragmentation and streamline the system for consumers, installers and professionals. The consultation, published on Gov.uk, will close on 10 September.
