Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, with reference to the contribution of 3 February 2015 from the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in his Department, Official Report, column 22WH, what assessment his Department has made of the proposal to regulate the initial sales conversation of cavity wall insulation providers.

I have instructed DECC officials to gather further evidence to better understand the proposal to regulate the initial sales conversation of cavity wall insulation providers.

I also wrote to the Chief Executive of Ofgem, regarding this issue on 9 February. I have asked Ofgem to forward information they have on this issue and to supply views on this proposal.
