PAC report on the ECO scheme that saw faulty insulation installed into homes: comment

"People's homes and lives have been damaged by these faulty installations, many living in fuel poverty, and lots have faced very difficult times as a result. There has clearly been a lack of proper regulation going back many years, but this Government now has an opportunity to bring in proper standards in the Warm Homes Plan.

"The majority of households that have benefitted from insulation schemes have lower bills and warmer, healthy homes, particularly during the early years of the gas crisis when the UK’s poor quality housing stock was one of the reasons we were so badly hit compared to other European countries."
