It seems to me that I should not have to pay for the mistakes and rorts that were the responsibility of the shonks who got in to make a quick quid.

The genuine contractors are going to suffer a double blow, they have already lost business and have an excess of stock, and now will see their taxes used to make things safe after the fly-by-nighters have gone.

The program was well-intended and with appropriate care and skill on the part of the installers would have been a success, so the blame should be totally laid at the feet of the unethical/careless installers; they, and not the taxpayer, should be responsible for the bill to redress their greed and incompetence.
