Part of Energy Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 10:00 am on 16 June 2011.
In this very consensual Committee—there is much cross-party agreement—I want to avoid the suggestion that the CESP and CERT schemes were outright failures. Far from it, they made great inroads in tackling fuel poverty. In respect of the question asked by the hon. Member for Winchester, does my hon. Friend agree that we need to learn how to refine and modify such schemes so that future schemes deliver the maximum benefit, going beyond what previous schemes had achieved despite the fact that they were groundbreakers in their time?
