Home Energy Efficiency Scheme
EDM number 123 in 1998-99, proposed by Matthew Taylor on 15/12/1998.
That this House expresses concern that under the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme there are only sufficient resources to offer one single insulation measure to households on social security benefits; is concerned that this prevents the HEES from delivering optimum benefit to low income households; notes that those over 60 years whose lives are at greater risk during the winter months receive only 25 per cent. of the maximum grant available; urges Her Majesty's Government to increase the range of measures obtainable by each applicant, to tackle the source of fuel poverty and encourage energy efficiency; and further calls on the Government to raise the maximum level of HEES grants per household to ú600.
This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
