How many households have been (a) contacted, (b) offered free insulation and (c) given free insulation under the (i) Home Insulation Scheme…

The Home Insulation Scheme which ran in 2009-10 and 2010-11 offered free loft top-up insulation and access to virgin loft insulation or cavity wall insulation through the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) scheme. In some cases the measures available through CERT would be free to the householder and in others there would have been a client contribution to pay. Of the 7,444 loft and cavity wall insulation measures installed information is not held on how many were provided free. The information shown is therefore restricted to the loft top-up measures which are known to have been provided free to every household.
