<p>Thank you, Siân, for that question. As I say, I have had the opportunity to meet some of my UK Government colleagues, most recently Miatta Fahnbulleh, who is the Minister for Energy Consumers, and I believe that my colleague Jane Hutt has also had discussions with Miatta Fahnbulleh as well. I think that's something that perhaps I can have a discussion with my colleague Jane Hutt on, and perhaps then raise it with the UK Government Minister as well. So, I'm happy to have further discussions on that specific point.</p>

<p>Thank you for raising that. If there are specific complaints, there is a complaints procedure, as I outlined. If there were particular ones that you’re concerned about, please raise those with me.</p>
<p>In terms of our approach with the Warm Homes programme, the programme does offer job creation in the supply chain&nbsp;for retrofitting, employing local traders and boosting demand for these skills in local authorities. Community-based schemes such as communal heating systems and whole-building insulation systems that can positively impact multiple homes will be explored as part of the programme. British Gas, which is a delivery agent for the Nest scheme,&nbsp;has been working closely with contractors to ensure they upskill their workforce, and contractors provide training and support to all working on the scheme to ensure they're competent in delivering the requirements of PAS 2035.</p>
<p>Beyond the Nest scheme, we also need installers to decarbonise, as we've said, the rest of our homes, and, obviously, the imbalance in supply and demand is impacting on our ability to deliver those quality installations at pace within Wales. But our need for a workforce skilled in energy efficiency and low-carbon heating will only increase over the long term, so we are, as I said, working across Government with the sector to assess provision over time and plan training provision accordingly.</p>
<p>You mentioned the ECO4 concerns. That is a UK Government scheme. That's one of the discussions that I was able to have with my colleague Miatta Fahnbulleh, who's leading on that in Westminster, and I know that there'll be more. They're doing some work at the moment, and, hopefully, following my written statement that I was able to put out recently—I think it was about last month when that first came out—I’ll be able to keep Members updated. But, as I say, officials meet regularly at a UK level, and, also, this is something that I raise with my Cabinet colleagues in Westminster as well.</p>

<p>Diolch, Altaf. Myself and officials are fully engaged with the UK Government on this issue. I recently met the Minister for Energy Consumers, Miatta Fahnbulleh, to discuss the UK Government's Warm Homes plan. We will assess the implications of these plans for Wales once they are published.</p>
