Recommendation 1
1
Accelerate effective data sharing between stakeholders to improve support schemes and tackle fuel poverty.
Conclusion
More effective data sharing between key stakeholders will be essential in making all government support schemes fairer, better targeted and cost effective. We welcome the Government’s plans to improve data sharing across Whitehall but believe it must move further and faster, recognising that more effective data sharing will be instrumental in tackling fuel poverty. Political will and cultural resistance, rather than legislative or regulatory barriers, have been the main obstacles to progress so far. (Conclusion, Paragraph 17)
