In its response to the Fifth Report of the Energy and Climate Change Committee, the Government claimed that spending on fuel poverty would be higher in 2014/15 than in 2009/10. Research by the Energy Bill Revolution shows that this claim is not true.
Overall spending on fuel poverty policies in 2014/15 will be more than 20% below the level of 2009/10, and almost 25% below the 2010/11 peak. Only a small portion of that spend is focused on long term solutions to fuel poverty.
