To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, with reference to the contribution of 3 February 2015 from the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in his Department, Official Report, columns 18-23WH, on cavity wall insulation, what discussions his Department has had with Ofgem on the independence of the directors of CIGA.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change
This issue does not fall within the remit of Ofgem. However, to understand this issue more fully, I met with the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA) on 24 February, and DECC officials are currently considering the information that they supplied.
