PARK HOMES AND FUEL POVERTY

Early day motion 2037, tabled 14 October 2009 by Mark Oaten (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 43 members.

That this House notes park home residents across the country are more susceptible to fuel poverty; further notes that park homes are not deemed to be dwellings and do not currently benefit from the majority of the Government's fuel poverty measures such as Warm Front or the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target; welcomes the recent investment in trials to establish the technical feasibility of products to reduce fuel costs in park homes and applauds National Energy Action and others for their work in this area; and calls on the Government to commit to including park homes within fuel poverty and energy efficiency measures as a priority.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Liberal Democrat 16, Conservative 3, DUP 3, Scottish National Party 1.
