Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Miatta Fahnbulleh

Tuesday 17th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Miatta Fahnbulleh]

My hon. Friend is completely right. Too many people cannot afford their energy bills—[Interruption.] That is your legacy. That is why we are running to deliver clean energy by 2030 and rolling out our warm homes plan, so that we can upgrade millions of homes to make them warmer and cheaper to run.

[Mr Speaker]

But it is not my legacy—do not worry.

--- Later in debate ---

[Miatta Fahnbulleh]

We know that the quality of too many of our homes in the private rented sector is not high enough. That is why we are moving forward to introduce minimum energy efficiency standards, so that we can raise those standards, lifting 1 million people out of fuel poverty. We are running in order to get that done.

[Mr Speaker]

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

We will work across the country to tackle fuel poverty, but I remind the hon. Member that fuel payments are devolved. The Scottish Government have been given the biggest budget, and it is time to get on with the job and fix the situation.

[Mr Speaker]

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

We see local and regional government playing an absolutely fundamental role to reach homes that we need to upgrade, but also to help us deliver the scale of ambition we want. Local and regional government will be a key part of our warm homes plan.
