To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Recognises that cavity-wall insulation when correctly installed
in suitable properties can be a cost-effective way of reducing fuel bills,
thereby contributing to reductions in fuel poverty and carbon emissions.
2.
Believes that there remains, however, a significant minority of installations
in unsuitable properties that are not complying with standards of good
workmanship, and for which seeking redress is often difficult and compensation
often inadequate or not possible to obtain.
3.
Urges the Welsh Government to work with the UK Government, the Cavity
Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA) and others to provide proper redress and
compensation for incorrect installation, and to strengthen consumer protection
going forward.
