To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

2. Urges the Welsh Government to use all the powers at its disposal this winter to minimise winter deaths.
3. Calls on the Welsh government to revise its fuel poverty strategy in light of recent energy price rises, focusing on:
a. Retro-fitting of the Welsh housing stock; and
b. Tackling energy insecurity through investment in renewable energy, and investment in developing the ‘green skills’ of the Welsh construction sector, as laid out in a recent paper ‘Skills for Eco-Refurbishment’.
