So, you wouldn't, at this stage, go for having a similar regulation to the gas certificates and the electric certificates people have to have before they sell the house.

Okay. Just moving on to the idea of whole house assessment and building renovation passports for all homes in Wales—that was strongly advocated by Chris Jofeh earlier in this morning's session—how do you think this should be undertaken and by whom? And is…

Okay, and certification would presumably be the other thing that would reassure people.

Just picking up on the resistance of individuals to engage with all this—we've all heard the stories of snake-oil salesmen, promising something it doesn't deliver—do you think that free advice for all citizens by a not-for-profit organisation, whether it's an…

Okay. Thank you for that. I think Janet was going to pick up on these very issues.

Okay, but in the context of the highest energy prices we've ever experienced, we, at the moment, do not have a programme. So, what can we do very quickly to rectify this situation?
5 Hydref 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Okay, but that's what the optimised retrofit programme is supposed to be doing, isn't it? We keep on being told that we're waiting for the outcomes of that before we can move forward on the next iteration.

We've built quite a lot of innovative housing funded by Welsh Government in the last six to eight years, are you saying that that work hasn't already been done on analysing the performance of these innovative homes?

Okay. We've already got the Audit Wales report, which is pretty critical. I'm really keen to understand what you think needs to be in the new Warm Homes programme.

Money is one thing, I'm keen to understand what you want to see in it in terms of the approach, the strategy. What's the strategy that should be in the Warm Homes programme, the one we don't have at the moment?
5 Hydref 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay, so just broadening out the issue a bit further, which is, really: what do you want to see in the new Warm Homes programme, when we get it? Who would like to go first? Shall I start with Rhiannon, as you've not spoken recently?

To some extent, because, obviously, what I've heard elsewhere when looking into this is that if you don't have the insulation then it leads to disaster, because electricity bills just go through the roof, because you're just heating the birds—

Okay, but installing heat pumps in new properties is a breeze compared with retrofitting. Surely, the issue is, once you've got your heat pump working, how do you then transmit it unless you completely change the ways in which you get that heat pump operating…

Thank you for that. I just want to move on to heat pumps, because we're taking evidence from Nesta later on this morning. They are particularly keen on promoting heat pumps and even to install heat pumps—clearly, they're saying in those that are well…

Can I just pick up on a point that Chris made: this getting the companies to target their ECO funding? So, would you include no-fines properties, where there's no cavity insulation, as an area that we ought to be directing ECO funding at?

Yes. I understand the reluctance of individuals to take on new debt, given the uncertainty of interest rates, but governments don't go bust. What role do you think there is for governments to set up a loan scheme with a charge against a property, which gets…
