BOILER SCRAPPAGE SCHEME AND REHEAT BRITAIN CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 2076, tabled 19 October 2009 by Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 56 members.

That this House welcomes the Reheat Britain campaign for a boiler scrappage scheme that would support existing jobs for plumbers, builders and suppliers suffering during the recession as well as creating new green jobs and training places; notes that a household could save more than £200 a year in gas bills with a new boiler and that by replacing just some of the 4.5 million inefficient boilers, thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions could be saved every year as well as supporting British manufacturers; and calls on the Government to support this scheme.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 15, DUP 5, Independent 3, Conservative 2, Scottish National Party 1.
