Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.
The hon. Gentleman, in his intervention on the Secretary of State, specifically mentioned Macmillan, which has taken this issue forward. It provides a helpline to support people with cancer, and one of the commonest questions asked is, "How do we cope with our energy bills?" That is because when someone is being treated for cancer, not only do they often become more sensitive to a shortage of heat, but their income falls at the same time, because their employment is disrupted.
