I was very interested to hear of the Latent Defect Insurance Scheme which has been prepared by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, and am pleased to offer support for a scheme which seeks to improve standards in the construction industry.

If there are specific issues where my Department may be able to assist, which the Federation wishes to discuss in relation to their scheme, I will be happy to consider a request for a meeting.
