There is the polstyrene bead bound with adhesive option. I'm sure that would not enable damp to spread.
I have always been a bit sceptical about the effectiveness of blowing mineral fibre insulation into wall cavities (getting past all the obstructions, filling to the required density etc).
Breaching the dampcourse is an obvious pitfall. Surely proper trained installers know about this and how to deal with the problem.
I would have expected that is would be more likely that condensation would appear on uninsulated walls (and have experienced this on a couple of occasions – north facing walls that never get sun on them).
Condensation occurs as a result of inadequate ventilation and differentials in temperature (like cold uninsulated walls). Ventilation is all about doors and windows, not cavity walls. The exception would be with older properties which rely on ventilaion below suspended wooden floors. The air flow through air bricks needs to be maintained, but then the effectiveness of correctly installed cavity wall insulation would be diminished.
It's a case of making sure the right solution is applied to each building.
So are these newspaper articles written by confused journalists who don't really understand what they are talking about? I know a lot of them love a controversial attention grabbing headline (which often borders on totally misleading). I wonder how many accurately explain the difference between damp and condensation. If they understand what is going on.
Insulating your home is of major importance in reducing the unecessary waste of natural resources and we should all buy into it.
If an energy company is offering to insulate your cavity walls for £100, even with a government subsidy, alarm bells should be ringing as to whether this installer is going to do a proper job!
