Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 November 2009. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

One group of people who cannot benefit are local authority tenants living in accommodation with communal heating systems. The only way they can reduce the heat is to open their windows, and they are still billed for the total cost of the heating by the local authority. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that local authorities that refuse to deal with such inefficiency and continue to bill their tenants, who have no choice, need to be tackled robustly and immediately by the Government?
