Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether a fraud risk assessment was carried out during the design of the Warm Homes Plan.

The Government has a zero-tolerance approach to fraud. The Government requires robust counter‑fraud controls to be built into the design and delivery of all energy efficiency and clean heat schemes, in line with cross‑government standards and Public Sector Fraud Authority guidance. Future scheme design and delivery will take into account lessons learned from previous iterations of HMG schemes.
