MPs and Peers from all parties show support for NEA’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day
December 2022
Friday 2 December was NEA’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day. Politicians from across the House and all parties expressed their support on social media. With 6.7 million households in fuel poverty in Winter 2022, rising to 8.4 million from April 2023, it was a vital day to continue to shine a spotlight on the lived reality of fuel poverty. Our APPG Chair Ben Lake MP released the following statement and you can watch APPG Vice Chair video testimonials below:
