Help The Aged Campaign

EDM number 1737 in 1997-98, proposed by Andrew Stunell on 04/11/1998.

That this House congratulates Help The Aged for their media campaign highlighting the plight of the elderly suffering from fuel poverty; notes that there will be about 21,000 unnecessary deaths this winter from cold-related illnesses in Britain; regards those deaths as far more shocking than any advertisements; and calls on public agencies and local government to work with voluntary organisations to minimise the death toll.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
