The report rightly points out (housing project currently in shortage of fuel, 2 December) that the government must be very embarrassed by the new estimates that one in four households is now in English shortages fuel. But his response to this growing problem, unfortunately, otherwise. Warm front, the program of government subsidies for fuel for the poor, has seen its budget reduced by two thirds over the next two years and end entirely in 2013. Even more troubling was the consultation last week the government on the new energy company obligation, which is designed to support energy efficiency measures for low-income households and vulnerable in 2013. With 4.1 million households in fuel poverty, officially in English in 2009 - and the government's duty to eradicate this scourge in 2016 - the consultation is planned to include ambitious plans to tackle the problem
, we find that even in the most ambitious estimates, the CEO bring relief to 840,000 households and fuel-poor end of 2015. That means less than 3m homes left to choose between eating and heating. Stressing the urgency to help them pay their energy bills, the answer to the shortage of fuel is to significantly increase the energy efficiency of homes, so that the houses are actually "fuel poverty proof".
More money must be found -. I urge governments to use tax revenues have increased Treasury in the prices of energy trading and carbon taxes that goes to plans to end the misery of fuel poverty
