Business of the House

Business question from Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 January 2022. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

It is always fun to discuss dogs with the Leader of the House. I remember that his daughter’s family pet is called Daisy. From cuddly dogs to warm homes, it has been reported in the press that the energy company obligation, or ECO, may be cut by the Treasury in response to the gas crisis. ECO tackles fuel poverty and reduces CO2 emissions through energy efficiency and heating upgrades. Scrapping or not uplifting ECO will make it more difficult for those who are already struggling to pay their bills. Can we have a statement from the Treasury on what measures it

is taking to ensure that energy efficiency is achieved, but in particular that struggling households can pay their bills and not be worried sick?
