Labour — Bracknell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2024

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

I said that the Labour party would restore the broken economy inherited from the Conservative party. In the long term, there is only one permanent solution to ending fuel poverty: we must end our dependence on volatile foreign energy markets and deliver lasting energy security. The Conservative party failed to do that in Government, leaving energy bills higher for every household, including those most in need. That is why this Government’s plan to create GB Energy, a new national energy company, is vital. It will bring energy supply back into the hands of the British public and help to get prices back under control. That is the long-term solution to fuel poverty: home-grown, British-controlled power.
