Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many green deal providers were investigated by the green deal oversight body between 2013 and 2015.

Since the Green Deal was introduced, two companies have been investigated by the Green Deal Ombudsman and Investigation Service. The first was concluded in 2015 by a sanction against the company Home Energy and Lifestyle Management Ltd. The other investigation took place during 2015 and did not lead to a sanction. Separately, the Green Deal Oversight and Registration Body carried out 44 audits of Green Deal Providers since 2013.
