I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to require the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to publish and implement a strategy for reducing fuel poverty; to require the setting of targets for the implementation of that strategy; and to provide for connected purposes.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
