Draft Legislative Programme 2008-09
The Government has published Preparing Britain for the Future—the Draft Legislative Programme 2008-09, which sets out the UK Government’s plans for legislative and key non-legislative action in next year’s Parliamentary session.

Heat - Call for Evidence
Results of Government's Heat Call for Evidence: last year's Energy White paper included a chapter on heat and the distributed production of energy. As part of developing our heat strategy, we announced a 'Call for Evidence' where stakeholders gave their views on heat. The Call for Evidence closed on 31 March but you can review the responses.
