Why would MP's not stay on Friday and vote on the Fuel Poverty Bill?
Lib Dem MP David Heath introduced a Bill that would have improved energy efficiency in existing homes, brought in social tariffs for the households vulnerable to exposure to higher fuel bills and reinforced the legal duty on the government to act to end fuel poverty.
In a time of recession, it would have helped with work. In a time of needing to reduce carbon emissions it would have boosted energy efficiency investment. It was a win,win and win Bill.
Very few Labour and even less Conservative MPs turned up. Our Conservative MP did not. I bet there wont be a newspaper column on that little omission.
