Labour’s Caroline Flint has today declared “war on cold homes”, as she unveiled the opposition’s new strategy for improving the energy efficiency of five million homes over the next 10 years. Delivering her keynote speech to the Labour Party conference this morning, the Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary confirmed heavily trailed plans for a new five-point strategy designed to tackle fuel poverty and carbon emissions by saving energy in the home. The National Insulation Association said “believe that there is scope to go further, faster. Additional funding would enable the 6 million low income households to be treated more quickly and this could be forthcoming from the National Infrastructure Fund.”
