HC Deb 09 July 2001 vol 371 c378W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many submissions were nude to the consultation on the UK Fuel Poverty Strategy; how many of these responses recommended that the definition of fuel poverty should use a form of disposable income; and if she will make a statement on the Government's plans for assessing and responding to the consultation. [1319]

Mr. Meacher

Over 240 responses have been received on the draft UK Fuel Poverty Strategy. Since the consultation only ended every recently these are now being analysed before decisions are taken on the best way forward.
