The greendeal is so good that gregg says people are getting the assessment and then doing some of the measures themselves instead of taking the gd finance. Well thats a success then.

DECC report now published: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...any_Obligation_in_Great_Britain_-_Q1_2013.pdf

After a quick skim read it only contains info of minimal interest.

Lots of data about the number and types of properties that had a GD Assessment up to 31st March, but not much else.

This is the other report published today with assessment numbers up to 16th June:

The main interest is that there are still zero 'live' Green Deals (Chart 2).

Well, we're probably still in the "soft launch" phase. Maybe it's time for a slightly harder "re-launch".

Just heard Gregg on Radio 4 - Confirmed that 4 people have signed up but work not completed yet! Very glad I didn't spend a penny on any investment.

The main interest is that there are still zero 'live' Green Deals (Chart 2).

..and only 4 in progress according to Mr Barker who has just this minute been interviewed on BBC R4.

[finchy]

Why does he keep say 78% surely he should say only 4 people ! Just looks like a complete xzy !! Greendeal is not a deal in its current form !

6 months in that's pretty poor deal.

Mr and Mrs Johnston obviously forgot to tick the 'no publicity' box.

Ted - in that statistical analysis did you find the answer to the important question....

How many ministers, civil servants and associated pen pushers and assessors does it take to change a boiler?

inquiring minds want to know.
