Energy Bills

Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 December 2013. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy Bills.

We are not trying to water down the target. We have had a two and a half year analysis and consultation, as I would have thought the hon. Lady would know. My predecessor commissioned Professor John Hills to do a detailed and independent study on fuel poverty, which was not done under the previous Government. If she looks at the proposals that we have come up with, having consulted widely, she will see that they have been welcomed by fuel poverty groups. Why? They have been welcomed because the proposals will ensure that our resources are much better targeted on people in real fuel poverty—in what I call deep fuel

poverty. Again, I would have thought that the Labour party would welcome that; it is a shame that it is not doing so.
