Cabinet considered a report proposing a process by which households could be identified as being eligible for support from suppliers under the ECO Help to Heat Flexible Eligibility scheme (ECO Flex) using agreed criteria. The report sought Cabinet’s authority for the Chief Executive to sign a joint cross-county Statement of Intent to that effect.
