PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CAMPAIGN FOR COLD WEATHER CREDITS (21 October 1992)

That this House notes the Department of Health has launched its winter warmth telephone line on 22nd October; further notes that the majority of people who contact these lines are requesting help with fuel costs or with insulation, neither of which the Department of Health provide; concludes that the Government has failed, is failing and will fail to combat the effects of winter cold on vulnerable people; and calls on the Government to support the campaign for cold weather credits and stop the avoidable growth in additional winter deaths, which increased by a further 2 per cent. in 1991-92.
