    • what should the eligibility criteria for home energy efficiency measures be, 
    • should the area-based approach to tackling fuel poverty (Arbed) continue,
    • what specific support should be made available to meet the challenges associated with rural fuel poverty?
    • how can private sector landlords be encouraged to tackle fuel poverty amongst tenants?
    • how can any successor scheme(s) better advance equality and social justice considerations?
