EXCLUSIVE: Fuel poverty groups warn new First Minister not to backtrack on flagship domestic heating bill - and to take action now for poorest households.

John Swinney must do more to end Scotland’s cold homes crisis which remains an overwhelming priority for the public, fuel poverty experts have warned.

They are also urging Swinney not to ditch or dilute the Holyrood government’s flagship Heat in Buildings Bill - which aims to make our homes more energy efficient and greener long-term. “Our polling found over half of Scottish people want more government help for people struggling to pay high energy bills, half want to see more funding for solar panels and four in ten more money for insulation.

Some 25 per cent want to see greater cash support for households to install eco-friendly heat pumps to replace gas boilers.
