To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 13 June 2022 to Question 9043 on Heat Pumps, what the process is for installers to be certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme; and what checks are made to ensure quality of work by installers once accredited.

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an independent quality assurance organisation. MCS sets out the process for installers to become certified on their website.
