Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wendy Chamberlain and Miatta Fahnbulleh

Tuesday 4th February 2025 Commons Chamber

[Wendy Chamberlain (North East Fife) (LD)]

18. What steps his Department is taking to tackle fuel poverty in winter 2024-25.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Miatta Fahnbulleh)]

The previous Government’s record on fuel poverty was absolutely woeful, and we have had to inherit an incredibly challenging trajectory. We are doing everything we can to shift that by upgrading homes for families in fuel poverty, driving up standards in the rental sector so that we lift 1 million people out of fuel poverty and supporting over 3 million households with our warm homes discount, all while running with our mission for clean power.
