HC Deb 18 December 2003 vol 415 c1015W
Mr. Laurence Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the average length of time taken to supply equipment to households under the Warm Front initiative has been; and if she will make a statement. [141941]

Mr. Bradshaw

The Department has contracts with two scheme managers, Eaga Partnership and Powergen Warm Front Ltd. for the delivery of Warm Front. Heating materials are provided under separate contracts with two suppliers who have sub-contracts with a number of manufacturers.

Following survey of a property, the average time taken to install measures ranges between 4 to 6 months for heating and 2 to 3 months for insulation.
