To ask the Scottish Executive what processes and criteria will be used to select external partners to help deliver the Home Insulation Scheme.
Answer
The Scottish Government has used powers under the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 and Environmental Protection Act 1990 to appoint the Energy Saving Trust as the managing agent for the scheme. The Scottish Government, together with the Energy Saving Trust, will establish a suitable process to secure involvement of an energy company or companies to deliver measures that will contribute to their obligations under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT).
