Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fuel Poverty Bill.


Fuel Poverty Bill

That is part of our party's policy, but this is a permissive Bill. It would allow the Secretary of State to take a view on how its objectives would be best achieved. I do not want to force everybody into the framework of my party's policy. If there is a better approach, I will listen. It will be in the hands of the Government as to how to implement the Bill.
