Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) Order 2008.


Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) Order 2008

That is exactly so, and I did answer that. This winter, the Government are just about to send a mail shot to 250,000 pension credit recipients. We will send out the information as regards central heating and insulation, but we need to know the results of that before we can go further. That is the answer: the Government are sending out the information from the suppliers because we hold the information. It is quite legitimate for the Government to target because that is the information we have. We know who the pension credit recipients are. As I said, we are about to do that this winter. We need to test the process to see what the value, the results and the benefits are of doing it that way around, so we are doing that.
