Dear Sir or Madam,
DECC have referred me to your Dept and in seeking answers I am copying you in on my questions to DECC which they have stated they do not hold information on. I have since found out that question number 1 was covered in Parliament recently and these are the other points I need answers on please.
2) What percentage of these 275 complaints received since April this year were regarding incorrect boiler installations?
3) Are the installers chosen by Warmfront,the schemes preferred suppliers?
4) As suppliers of Government services are Warmfront/Warmsure/Eaga subject to the Goods and Services Act
5) What percentage of Warmfront's implementation costs were
allocated for subsequent repair work by their preferred suppliers?
6) Do Warmfront/Warmsure/Eaga seek tender bids from preferred suppliers
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Lots of 'fish wrestling' going on with this one and it would be good to discover just how many dissatisfied Warmfront customers are out there. It appears the Dept of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have only recorderd the number of complaints it has received since the beginning of April this year and up until the end of May DECC has received 275 expressions of dissatisfaction with the scheme .....THATS OVER 137 PER MONTH!:O()
