Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate his Department has made of the number of households that have paid for a Green Deal assessment to date.
Previous DECC research has shown that around 1 in 10 households that have had a Green Deal assessment paid, at least in part, for it. However the latest DECC research, published in June 2014, showed that 14% of households paid, at least in part, towards an assessment. This research was carried out with households that had an assessment between 1January and 30 March 2014 and shows that the number of households paying for an assessment increased.
