“If everyone on the planet were to consume natural resources and generate carbon dioxide at the rate we do in the UK we'd need three planets to support us!Our homes and lifestyles have significant impacts on the environment” World Wildlife Fund Apr 2005

“Emissions are now at their highest since 1996 and 3% higher than when Labour came to power in 1997. The government will need to implement drastic changes if it is to meet its target to reduce carbon pollution by 2010.”

Apr 2005

BackgroundBackground

Background- Government PolicyBackground- Government Policy

Two of the principal issues associated with the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill

are fuel poverty and energy efficiency measures aimed at conserving energy.

A household in fuel poverty is frequently defined as one in which more than 10% of income is spent on fuel to adequately heat the home. In England in 1996 an unacceptably high number of approximately

5 million households were in fuel poverty. The solution to the problem lies in the long-term improvement of

housing stock. Energy conservation is a central part of Government policy to help meet the climate change commitment
