Part of Energy Security and Net Zero – in the House of Commons at on 8 October 2024.

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
I agree. One in four households in the private rented sector is in Fuel Poverty. We need to bear down on Bills. Our commitment to improve and boost minimum energy efficiency standards will lift 1 million renters out of fuel poverty. We are determined to do this alongside our bigger package to deliver clean power by 2030, which will drive down bills for everyone.
A household is said to be in fuel poverty when its members cannot afford to keep adequately warm at reasonable cost, given their income.
A proposal for new legislation that is debated by Parliament.
