Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Stunell (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 4 November 1998, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 47 members in total.


COMBATING COLD - RELATED ILLNESS

That this House notes with dismay that the United Kingdom has a higher death toll from cold-related illnesses than any other nation, and that a major factor is poorly insulated houses; and therefore calls for a reduction in VAT on insulation and energy efficiency equipment and a massive increase in the programme for upgrading the energy efficiency of homes occupied by those on low incomes.
