HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

Early day motion 368, tabled 29 October 1997 by Clive Efford (Labour). Signed by 240 members.

That this House welcomes the progress made by many local authorities in taking action under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995; notes that a number of authorities have stated that it would help them if housing associations were also involved in promoting energy conservation in their own properties; further notes, that many housing associations themselves are keen to be involved in the energy conservation process; and therefore welcomes the Energy Conservation (Housing) Bill which would extend the 1995 Act to housing associations.
