§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what instructions her Department issued to Warm Front scheme managers on the publication on their websites of monthly statistical data relating to works carried out under the scheme; what assessment she has made of compliance with these instructions; and what action she proposes to take to ensure future compliance. [161638]
§ Mr. Morley[holding answer 25 March 2004]: As part of the continuous development of Warm Front, the optimum reporting mechanisms for publishing Warm Front data were discussed between the Department and the scheme managers. Following these discussions it was agreed that data would be published annually.
Following a recent review of the delivery of the scheme, the Department has asked the scheme managers to publish data on a quarterly basis.
Historic annual data are also available on the scheme managers' websites.
