Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Energy Regulations (Consumer Prices).

Why cannot some of that be recycled into Warm Front, which is losing about 25 per cent. of current expenditure levels and Government support?
