'Failings at every level' resulted in botched insulation scheme, MPs told
The National Audit Office criticized the botched insulation schemes, finding that nearly all 23,000 homes face damp and mold issues. Senior civil servant Jeremy Pocklington called the failures "unacceptable," highlighting the risks posed to homeowners' health and safety. The schemes, involving external and internal insulation, have been marred by systemic failures and poor oversight, with billions in public funds spent over two decades.
