HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the progress made by many local authorities in taking action under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995; notes that a number of authorities have stated that it would help them if housing associations were also involved in promoting energy conservation in their own properties; further notes, that many housing associations themselves are keen to be involved in the energy conservation process; and therefore welcomes the Energy Conservation (Housing) Bill which would extend the 1995 Act to housing associations.
