Adam Scorer, National Energy Action’s (NEA) chief executive, has responded to the government’s Autumn Budget.
He said: “This Budget will not lessen the impact of unaffordable energy bills and record levels of energy debt this winter. With likely increases to energy bills later in January, things will remain bleak for some of the most vulnerable households across the UK.
“A longer-term Warm Homes Plan designed to help fuel poor households is more vital than ever. A downpayment is welcome, but we need the full detail and investment promised in the Labour manifesto.”
