Autism And Winter Fuel Poverty

EDM number 281 in 2008-09, proposed by Rudi Vis on 15/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Energy, Incomes and poverty and Mental health.

That this House shares the serious concerns of the UK Autism Foundation that there will be many more parents, carers, children and adults with autism and Asperger's syndrome across the United Kingdom who will be faced with winter fuel poverty; notes that many families with autism and Asperger's syndrome are struggling to heat their homes because of rising gas and electricity bills particularly during the credit crunch and the recession; is concerned that despite the economic downturn energy bills are at record high levels; supports the call of the UK Autism Foundation for the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to provide crisis payments for families with autism below the poverty line who are struggling to heat their homes this Christmas; backs the call of the UK Autism Foundation for an industry-wide reduced social tariff for all families and people with disabilities including autism; urges the Government to take this matter up with energy companies as soon as possible in order to help families with autism who are struggling to cope with high gas and electricity bills during the recession; and calls on the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to provide on-going support to families with autism struggling to cope with financial burdens and facing the threat of home repossessions during the credit crunch and the recession in 2009 and beyond.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
