Combating Cold - Related Illness

EDM number 1736 in 1997-98, proposed by Andrew Stunell on 04/11/1998.

That this House notes with dismay that the United Kingdom has a higher death toll from cold-related illnesses than any other nation, and that a major factor is poorly insulated houses; and therefore calls for a reduction in VAT on insulation and energy efficiency equipment and a massive increase in the programme for upgrading the energy efficiency of homes occupied by those on low incomes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
