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 Scheme appeal cases from Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency have been with her Department since referral for (a) one, (b) two, (c) three, (d) four, (e) five, (f) six, (g) seven, (h) eight, (i) nine, (j) 10, (k) 11 and (l) 12 months or longer without a final decision having been made.

There are currently 15 outstanding complaints about the Green Deal that have been referred to the Secretary of State from households in the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency (outstanding is defined as meaning that the Secretary of State’s final decision has not been issued or, if it has, there has been a subsequent appeal to the First-tier Tribunal). The table below provides details of the age of these complaints.

We are progressing cases as quickly as possible, and looking at ways to speed up the review process.
