Fuel Poverty Amendment To The Energy Bill

EDM number 672 in 2013-14, proposed by Caroline Lucas on 05/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Energy, Fuel poverty and Housing.

That this House welcomes the fuel poverty amendment moved by Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan in the House of Lords to the Energy Bill, seeking to retain a legal commitment to end the scandal of cold homes; recognises that the best way of doing so is in setting minimum energy efficiency standards that have to be met in the worst of the UK's housing stock, and within specified target dates; believes it is essential that such an objective remains in primary rather than secondary legislation; and calls on hon. Members and Members of the House of Lords to add their support to this initiative.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
