FUEL POVERTY TARGETS

Early day motion 2027, tabled 14 July 2008 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 132 members.

That this House notes with concern that Government estimates indicate that it is no longer on course to meet its statutory obligation to lift all vulnerable households out of fuel poverty by 2010; regrets the Government's response to Friends of the Earth on 14th March 2008 suggesting that the fuel poverty targets were an option rather than an obligation; recognises that the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act sets out statutory duties for the complete eradication of fuel poverty by 2016; and calls upon the Government to set up an inter-ministerial task force to deliver its statutory duties.
