On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. You will be aware that fuel poverty and energy efficiency are key elements of this Bill. There was significant debate in Committee about a Government document called the household energy management strategy, about which the Under-Secretary told us on 14 January:""I would have liked to have been able to brandish that to Committee members today, but it will come out in a couple of weeks' time—ish."––[Official Report, Energy Public Bill Committee, 14 January 2010; c. 218.]"
A week later, he said that they were""on…course to ensure that Members will see the strategy before Report".––[Official Report, Energy Public Bill Committee, 21 January 2010; c. 403.]"
We were given those assurances five and six weeks ago—the strategy has not come out so far. It is fundamental to our consideration of the Bill. Can you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, put pressure on Ministers, even at this late stage, to produce this important document?
