§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the support being offered by his Department to home energy audits.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Energy Efficiency Office (EEO) within my Department promotes and publishes a98W guide to householders who might wish to conduct an energy audit of their home themselves. Under the proposed home energy efficiency scheme, the EEO would offer support for the provision of expert advice on energy efficiency to householders on low incomes. For other householders who seek expert advice, the regional offices of the EEO can suggest appropriate consultants.
