Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree with us that it is important to have consistent measures of fuel poverty, so that Governments of any colour cannot wriggle out of their responsibilities, and that therefore clause 14, to which my hon. Friend the Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) drew our attention earlier and which appears to give the Secretary of State the power to change and flex the definition, is rather dangerous and ought to be removed?
