Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fuel Poverty Bill.


Fuel Poverty Bill

Of course, the right hon. Gentleman is putting a case for the little guy. I invite him to comment on the irony that if any bank wants £25 billion, it gets it—"Here you go Lloyds, here you go RBS"; the people whom he has rightly been criticising for their mismanagement—but when it comes to doing up poor people's homes so that they have proper energy efficiency, we are told that that is unaffordable. What does he say to that?
