Warm Front Scheme

Volume 491: debated on Monday 27 April 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many complaints regarding Warm Front installations his Department has received in each of the last 10 years. (257478)

This Department, and its predecessor the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has kept a record of all Warm Front correspondence cases since January 2007. The total number of cases received by the Department is approximately 1,750. However not all of these cases will necessarily be complaints. DECC has recently put in place mechanisms for recording and monitoring all complaints received.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change which 10 Warm Front contractors (a) received the most for work under the scheme and (b) installed the most (i) heating installations and (ii) radiators in each of the last eight years. (265988)

The 10 Warm Front contractors who have received the most payment for work under the scheme during the most recent period for which data are available, (1 June 2005 to 28 February 2009), are detailed as follows. The tables list—alphabetically—the contractors who have (a) received the most payment for work under the scheme and (b) installed the most heating installations under Warm Front. It is likely that those installers who have installed the most heating installations will also have installed the most radiators during the same time period.

Contractors who have received the most payment for work under the Warm Front scheme:
