Lords could amend energy bill to protect poorest households

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Measures are needed to insulate more homes, boost renewable energy generation and help the most vulnerable heat their homes, according to a coalition of charities and civil society groups.
52% : As peers prepare to start their committee stage scrutiny of the energy bill, the Warm This Winter campaign has sent them all, and all MPs, a briefing document showing that direct financial help to low-income households, a national rollout of home insulation and a tripling of renewable energy generation are all feasible and could help to alleviate hardship this winter and reduce the UK's expensive dependency on gas.
40% : Her likely choice of business secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, is also broadly against government intervention in the markets.
