Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, when her Department plans to publish the Major Projects Authority's assessment of the smart meters programme.

The Major Projects Authority (MPA) publishes annual reports and specific project performance data is published by departments at the same time. The MPA published its annual report on 25 June 2015:

In support of the MPA's report, DECC has published data on its projects on the Government Major Projects Portfolio, including the smart meters implementation programme. It is available from the following link:
