Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Morgan of Cotes and Aidan Burley

Tuesday 28th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Nicky Morgan]

I am interested to hear the hon. Lady’s question, as she also voted for the decarbonisation target that would have added £125 to bills. However, I am sure she welcomed the winter fuel payments made to 14,000 people in her constituency in winter 2012-13. This Government are on the side of helping people to deal with the rising cost of their fuel bills. In autumn statement 2013, we extended the energy company obligation target, but we have certainly not given up on it.

[Mr Aidan Burley (Cannock Chase) (Con)]

13. What assessment he has made of the level of recent job creation in the private sector.
