To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the reasons for the delay in the publication of an Action Plan for cavity wall insulation by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive; and when a plan will be published.

The Housing Executive had intended to publish its Draft Cavity Wall Insulation Action Plan in the early autumn last year. However, this was delayed due to the fact that some further analysis of data was required along with further consideration of potential courses of action. The Draft Cavity Wall Insulation Action Plan was issued for consultation on 22nd December 2020. Responses to the consultation document are due by 31st March 2021 and the intention is to publish a final Action Plan later this year.
