Energy Company Obligation

I will respond fully in my closing remarks, but I do not want the hon. Lady to scare or alarm her constituents unnecessarily. I spoke yesterday to the chief executive of Nottingham city council, and we are working closely with Nottingham on a new bid for our green deal communities. Although I cannot announce the result of that bid for our green deal communities fund, Nottingham has made a robust proposal that aims to deliver hundreds of measures, if not more than 1,000 measures, of the type the hon. Lady describes in south Clifton. Far from being dead and over, the south Clifton scheme has every reason to be optimistic.
