Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fuel Poverty Bill.
Fuel Poverty Bill
I want to make a similar point to that made by my hon. Friend the Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Janet Anderson). The problem is particularly acute in London, where prices are, inevitably, higher across the board. Constituents have written to me saying, "We can't afford the top-up," so the work does not get done. I have recently heard an increasing number of complaints about the poor quality of the work done by eaga or its agents. We need to start looking into the contract. There is effectively a monopoly in place; we need to ask whether that is the right way to take forward the Warm Homes initiative.
