Reporting on fuel poverty
Section 12
65.Under section 12, the Scottish Ministers are required to prepare a report on the 2040 target – i.e. the target set out in section 1(2). This must be laid before the Scottish Parliament by 31 March 2042 at the latest. The report must state whether or not the 2040 target has been met and what percentage of households in Scotland remain in fuel poverty in 2040. However, the information which can be included is not limited and any other information which would be useful may be included within the report. That additional information might relate to what the Government intends to do in respect of fuel poverty at that point.
