WARM FRONT SCHEME (No. 2)

Early day motion 1342, tabled 24 April 2009 by David Crausby (Labour). Signed by 55 members.

That this House welcomes the announcement in the recent Budget Statement to increase the level of grant available to householders through the Warm Front Scheme; recognises the maximum grants currently available are £2,700 and £4,000 and will be increased to £3,500 and £6,000 respectively; and calls on the Government to ensure that this increase will be administered exclusively to benefit people in households vulnerable to fuel poverty rather than the Warm Front service provider and the sub-contractors.

Signatures by party: Labour 39, Liberal Democrat 10, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, DUP 2, Independent 1.
