WARM HOMES

That this House commends the Energy Conservation (Fifteen Year Programme) Bill introduced in the last Session by a cross-party group of honourable Members which would require the Secretary of State to draw up a 15 year programme of action to ensure that energy conservation measures are taken on 500,000 houses per year over a period of 15 years; acknowledges that such a programme is designed to end fuel poverty in the United Kingdom; recognises that it would benefit the environment and create jobs; notes that the Bill does not create powers of entry in private homes; further notes that it does not involve compelling private individuals to carry out works, but rather relies on persuasion and promotion; and hopes that there will be time to discuss and pass the Bill in this Session.
