I also attended Environment, Climate Change, and Neighbourhoods Committee today to discuss our update on Housing Retrofit.
This is a really important area of policy to help deliver warmer and healthier homes, and lower bills for residents.

We need to see the law changed, so that employers and workers know when action must be taken to keep workers cooler and safer. Add your name. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/we...
We need a maximum working temperature
Every summer, temperatures are rising and working in prolonged heat and sun can be dangerous. It can cause a number of health concerns, from dehydration and dizziness to the most serious of illnesses....
