The minister's not falling for that one again!
In a written answer to Tory MP, Eric Pickles, the Housing Minister - clearly heeding past mistakes - carefully avoids any potentially embarrassing commitment to the question: "...how many energy inspectors will be required to meet the requirement for Energy Performance Certificates on (a) commercial property, (b) private rented accommodation and (c) social housing."
The Minister responds:
The number of assessors needed will depend on market conditions and on the level of demand for voluntary certificates ahead of time.
