Answer
The Universal Home Insulation Scheme Implementation Group, which I chair, has recommended that delivery of the scheme is led by local authorities. The Implementation Group, Scottish Government and COSLA have agreed and finalised the arrangements for the scheme, together with associated bidding guidance to assist local authorities and their partners in preparing bids.
