Warm Front Scheme: Contracts

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many Warm Front contractors have declared themselves bankrupt; and on what date each did so. (266004)

[holding answer 24 March 2009]: Contractors cannot work on the scheme while bankrupt but one contractor has declared itself to be in voluntary liquidation. Heating Efficiency Systems Ltd. declared its voluntary liquidation status on 3 March 2009, and, as such is no longer registered on the Warm Front scheme.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what percentage of work under Warm Front heating installation contracts has been directly delivered by Eaga under each company brand name which it uses. (266005)

[holding answer 24 March 2009]: I can confirm that between 1 June 2005 and 20 March 2009, Eaga's installers were given 29 per cent. of allocations under the scheme to date. A breakdown of the allocation to Eaga's in-house installers is provided in the following table. This breakdown is based on a restriction DECC has agreed with Eaga: that Eaga's in-house installers are restricted to carrying out no more than an allocated 30 per cent. of the work available under Warm Front during the lifetime of the scheme.
