Liberal Democrat — Westmorland and Lonsdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2026

Debate

Cold Homes Plan

Contribution

Twenty-five per cent of the properties in my constituency were built before 1900. They are very hard to retrofit; they are solid-wall properties. It is therefore important that there should be a bespoke scheme to ensure that homes that are hard to retrofit, particularly in rural communities such as mine, can be made cooler or warmer in these times of more extreme temperatures.
