Proceeding contribution from Ian Gibson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fuel Poverty.


Fuel Poverty

Are not the real politics of the situation shown in the fact that a statistic called ““excess winter death figures”” is being counted? I do not believe many statistics, but that one I do. Is it not a scandal that, in this day and age, people are dying of cold-related illnesses? Would any of the measures that my hon. Friend suggests make any difference?
