Ed Miliband
I do not understand the hon. Gentleman, if I am honest. The truth is that he would give up on young people. He would sell them down the river, as he would today’s generation, the future generation, and all generations to come. I do not think that is a very good platform to stand on.
Tim Farron (Westmorland and Lonsdale) (LD)
Some 25% of the houses in my constituency were built before 1900. They are expensive to heat and very difficult to insulate. When will there be a bespoke plan for insulating those properties, using the right materials, and, crucially, for the insulation to be installed by specialists?
Martin McCluskey
I have had very constructive conversations with the hon. Member about this. The warm homes plan will be published soon, and we will have something to say in that.
