Review of FPAG
On 15 May 2012 the government announced the Triennial Review of the Fuel Poverty Advisory Group (FPAG), to seek the views of stakeholders on its role, functions, form, control and governance arrangements.
Triennial Reviews of Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) are part of the government’s commitment to ensuring accountability in public life.
Following the Review, the Government has launched reform of the group. This includes the appointment of the new Chair and moving to a small number of appointed, independent expert members.
