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


Fuel Poverty

Is not one of the most important things about schemes such as warm front the fact that we can link benefit entitlement checks to them? My right hon. Friend may like to know that, in my constituency, where nearly £6 million pounds has been invested by the warm front scheme, the average weekly income of the clients who have benefited has increased by £13 a week, which is fairly significant.
