Dear Angus MacNeil,
Thank you for the response to my previous letter. I would have
appreciated it more if you had responded to my email with an email
especially as my subject was conservation.
As you agreed with me that their is much much we can do in practical
terms, through energy saving light bulbs and insulation, I am now
writing to ask for your signature in support of the Early Day Motion
2656 ( detailed in full below ) which 42 of your fellow MPs have signed
including your party member Mike Weir.
I think that this small step will have large positive effects and help
to bring about a situation where our power requirements are better
satisfied by renewable sources. I look forward to reading your response
via email.
EDM 2656: That this House notes the problems caused by increasing
energy demands, including rising energy costs, reduced energy security
and climate change; recognises that improved energy efficiency is the
cheapest way for the UK to reduce energy demand and carbon dioxide
emissions; welcomes the Ban the Bulb campaign, which aims to increase
the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs; and calls on the Government
to help main-stream energy efficient lifestyles by granting energy
saving goods and services the same 5 per cent. VAT rate as condoms,
strengthening UK building regulations and making energy efficiency a
key criteria in all Government procurement.
