Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 July 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fuel Poverty (Rural Britain).


Fuel Poverty (Rural Britain)

I hope the hon. Gentleman will not regret offering an open-door policy to Members such as me. He is talking about the coalition and localism, with which I agree. However, there must be more than warm words. Although I agree with the devolution of powers, which I have fought for in referendums for many years, we do not simply need it to happen; we need resources. That is the important thing. Dealing with the issue is not just about passing powers from Whitehall to Cardiff, and to rural areas in Wales; it is about making sure that the resources follow those powers.
