Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fuel Poverty.
Fuel Poverty
One group of customers who tend to be fuel poor is those who do not have the facility of mains gas and depend on liquefied petroleum gas and heating oil, which tend to be more expensive, calorie for calorie, than mains gas. Some communities, particularly ex-mining villages in my constituency, find that they cannot secure mains gas. Would not one way in which the Government could act to eliminate fuel poverty be to encourage companies to supply mains gas to more communities?
