Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 7 January 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what steps his Department is taking to ensure that existing Green Deal participants are not able to influence which future companies are granted Green Deal accreditation.
All participants go through a transparent, consistent and fair process to gain accreditation. Compliance with the Green Deal code of practice is a condition of all accreditations.
Applicant assessors and installers have to be certified by a certification body, on behalf of the Secretary of State, to ensure they meet the appropriate standards. The United Kingdom Accreditation Service accredit certification bodies to carry out this function.
Applicant providers submit applications to the Oversight and Registration Body that are assessed in accordance with published guidance for applicants prepared by DECC.
The Oversight and Registration Body makes a recommendation, and the Secretary of State takes the decision on whether to approve the applicant.
