Climate change committee chair tells chancellor there are many small changes people can make to save energy and money
The UK government must improve its energy-saving advice for households to help cut costs for consumers and the Treasury this winter, its climate advisers have said.
The climate change committee chair, Lord Deben, said Britain was exposed to fluctuations in the price for fossil fuels, which had forced the government to commit tens of billions of pounds in support and still left homes and businesses facing an extra £1,300 on average annual bills.
