Energy Charges And The Fuel Poor

EDM number 882 in 1998-99, proposed by Alan Simpson on 26/07/1999.

That this House congratulates Scottish Power on their commitment radically to reduce the burden of charges which fall upon the fuel poor; endorses their package, which includes a 'lifeline' rate for the poor, a three year energy conservation programme funded by shareholders, reduction of standing charges to 55 pence per month, no winter disconnections, unit charges of four pence per kWh, and a price rebate of ú25 million shared between all customers; and calls on Scottish Power to make this commitment in the UK as well as in Utah, USA, as part of their takeover bid for Pacificorp.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
