ENERGY EFFICIENCY BILL

Early day motion 1614, tabled 17 July 2003 by David Chaytor (Labour). Signed by 76 members.

That this House supports the commitments in the recent Energy White Paper to amend building regulations to require the installation of energy efficient boilers in domestic premises, to extend the energy efficiency commitment in relation to domestic premises at twice the current level beyond 2005 and to consult on widening that provision to non-domestic premises; further supports the sympathetic view expressed by the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, the honourable Member for Wentworth, regarding further reduction of VAT on energy saving materials; strongly hopes that the Government will not be deflected from implementing these measures; and so supports the Energy Efficiency Bill introduced into the House on 17th July, which requires the enactment of those very measures.

Signatures by party: Labour 63, Labour/Co-operative 4, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Conservative 1.
