Thursday 7th March 2013 Ministerial Corrections

The following is an extract from the Written Ministerial Statement presented by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, the right hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Mr Pickles) on 13 December 2012.

[The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mr Eric Pickles)]

The Energy Saving Trust research found that consequential improvements, even with green deal finance in place, would put off 38% of households from going ahead with building work on their property that they were otherwise planning (“Energy Saving Trust, Exploratory Research into Building Regulations in relation to the Green Deal”, page 37).

[Official Report, 13 December 2012, Vol. 555, c. 42-3WS.]
