Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

Energy-saving light bulbs are more expensive than more energy-consuming bulbs, and poorer people may find it a more attractive option in the short term to buy energy-consuming bulbs. Might there be a more dynamic way of ensuring that those people receive assistance so that they can buy energy-saving bulbs? Have the Government considered withdrawing energy-consuming bulbs from sale? If they were not available, every household would have to replace them with energy-saving bulbs.
