MPs slam 'abject failure' over insulation scheme
Tens of thousands of homeowners are facing “unaffordable bills” to repair defects caused by a failed government energy efficiency scheme, MPs have warned.
A report from the Pubic Accounts Committee finds that the “abject failure” of the government-backed Energy Company Obligation (ECO) programme to install insulation in homes has left some facing costs of over £230,000.
The Commons spending watchdog warns that the government has not given real assurance that it will deliver on its promise that no one affected will have to pay to resolve the issue, pointing to cases where the cost of repair far exceeds the £20,000 cap.
Fortunately Andy Burnham may even now be rushing forward to replace abject failure Keir Starmer now that abject failure Andrew Gwynne MP has apparently decided to clear off - or 'stand down' as the euphemism has it.
Labour MP 'standing down' could clear way for Andy Burnham's Commons return
Andrew Gwynne, who was sacked as a minister and suspended from the Labour Party last year over offensive messages in a WhatsApp group, is now said to be standing down, which would trigger a by-election in Greater Manchester.
