  • Redefining Fuel Poverty

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 18 December 2013
    According to official figures London has over 300,000 households in fuel poverty.

    Your answer to question 2013/4093 referred me back to 2013/3358 in which you were unable to supply me with the number of trees planted towards your goal of two million more trees in London by 2025.
