Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

Absolutely. I am not complacent—none of us is complacent—but I am encouraged to note that more housing associations and other organisations, statutory, voluntary and private, are taking account of such issues. I hope that our carbon building programme, which involves some £30 million over three years, will enable us to earmark some of the money for dealing with fuel poverty. Apart from the issue raised by my hon. Friend, there is the problem of vulnerable households that are off the grid and not connected to gas mains. We should think imaginatively about how they can be helped.
