Hi all,
We'll be welcoming the Rt Hon Edward Davey, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, for a webchat on this Wednesday, Feb 13th at 12.30pm - 1.30pm.

Ed Davey has been the LibDem MP for Kingston and Surbiton since 1997 and lives in Surbiton with his wife and son. He served in a number of shadow roles since 2001, including Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury and Shadow Education and Skills Secretary, and became a Minister in the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) in May 2011, after the forming of the current coalition government.

Ed is interested in hearing your thoughts on a wide range of issues, including the Government's new Green Deal policy, which launched in late January

Please post your question in advance on this thread, or join us live on Wednesday from 12.30pm-1.30pm.

Hi all

We've received a call to say that Edward Davey has been delayed by around 15 minutes, so we won't be able to start at 12.30pm on the dot.

Apologies, and we'll be with you as quickly as we can.

Thanks,

MNHQ

@JonLew

Ed ..You say "Nowadays, I think lots of politicians, from all parties, recognise the threat from climate change" ..but how many of the nation's MP's do you believe really "get it " and will push to Act. Now.?

Reminder to all to please restrict yourself to one question so everyone can get a turn. Please do take a look at our webchat guidelines for more explanation. Txs.

@armchairbackpacker

Regarding the GreenDeal. I had my survey done in December 2012. The cashback portal is now open but I cant register as I havent had my report back yet. My supplier said it is because the government software to produce the report isnt available yet. and I have queried this with another supplier who said the same (that the questions to decide the cost reduction in our energy were still not confirmed and until they are the software isnt available).

When will I get my report, I am desperate to get cracking with the GreenDeal and am a big supporter of the scheme but this delay is frustrating?

Thanks

Hello Armchairbackpacker - we've just been sent this response to your question from Ed Davey and the Green Deal team. Hope it's helpful! MNHQ

Ed Davey said:

"Hi Armchairbackpacker

We hope that your assessment report has now come through but, if not, we wanted to assure you that Green Deal assessment software is available to assessor organisations and has been since 5th December. Green Deal assessors are required to finalise green deal assessments within 14 days of the assessment taking place. We have spoken to a number of assessor organisations and where this hasn?t happened, we have asked them to re-do the assessment at no additional charge to the consumer.

Please do let us know if your assessor still hasn?t been able to do this for you, contact [email protected]"
