ABSTRACT
The Watt Committee on Energy was conceived in the mid 1970s as a channel for discussion of questions concerning energy in the professional institutions. In 1992 it set up a Working Group to examine the set of issues relating to domestic energy use, hard-to-heat houses, low income and fuel poverty. Since starting its work the problems facing low income households have been exacerbated by the imposition of VAT on domestic fuel. This document is the final report of the Working Group.
