ENERGY EFFICIENCY

That this House is aware that UK homes are amongst some of the least energy efficient in Europe, with low energy efficiency and high energy costs being particularly problematic in rural areas; notes that if the Government were to set aside a small proportion of the huge sums of capital set aside for large infrastructure projects, it would then be able to deliver a significant programme to improve energy efficiency in homes throughout the UK; and calls on the Government to adopt such a strategy with ambitious targets set to deliver a range of multiple measures, in particular for low income homes, thereby helping householders to pay their bills, increase energy security, stimulate economic growth and tackle climate change.
