Wind Chill Factor (EDM79)

Wind Chill Factor

EDM number 79 in 1998-99, proposed by Andrew Stunell on 03/12/1998.

That this House notes that preventable deaths from cold-related illnesses are a uniquely British scourge; considers that prompt action to include wind chill in the calculation of cold weather payments would be an excellent way for the government to show its commitment to the well-being of Britain's poorest pensioners; notes that the Government's own research concludes that it is perfectly possible to include wind chill; further notes that the Government's report concludes that if wind chill had been included over the last three years, an average additional expenditure of just Ãº8 million per annum would have been incurred; considers that this is a small price to pay to honour commitments made to those pensioners and others in receipt of income support who are eligible for cold weather payments; and calls upon the Government to reconsider its decision not to include wind chill in the calculation of cold weather payments.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
