Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment his Department has made of the effect on contractors of the time being taken for payments to be made to those contractors under the Green Homes Grant scheme.
The scheme administrator is prioritising the payment of vouchers and we are continuing to see an increase in the number of vouchers being paid out to installers once work is complete.
We are continuously listening to feedback from customers and installers and making improvements based upon it. We are working with consumers and installers to ensure they are clear on the information and checks required, so that vouchers can be paid as quickly as possible.
