We are likewise concerned that the Department will fail to learn from this scheme. When asked what the primary failings of the Scheme were, whilst acknowledging the short duration and the design of the scheme as factors, the Department largely attributed its failings to the poor performance of its scheme administrator.55 This contrasted with one of the Department’s ministers who, giving evidence at the Environmental Audit Committee, readily acknowledged the multiple causes of the Scheme’s difficulties set out the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report.56 The Department needs to recognise the breadth and scale of what went wrong on this scheme, so that it can begin to regain the confidence of homeowners and industry in future attempts to decarbonise buildings.
