The Sustainable Energy Partnership, which represents all the major environmental and ‘fuel poverty’ NGOs today, thankedLynne Featherstone MP for being in Parliament on Friday March 10th to supporta vitally important Bill dealing with climate change and fuel poverty – The Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.

Partnership Organiser Ron Bailey said:

“It is absolutely vital that this Bill succeeds. Emissions of CO2 continue to increase and rising energy prices will mean that even more people are suffering from cold homes and fuel poverty this winter. This Bill contains practical measures to deal with both problems.

“We appreciate that it is difficult for MPs to be in parliament on a Friday, so we are especially grateful to Lynne Featherstone MP for having been in the House to help this Bill succeed.This is exactly the example that MPs need to set – action not just fine words. We thank Lynne Featherstone MP for making this commitment to the environment and to ending fuel poverty. We hope she is also able to support the Bill again later this week.”
