Six million families face paying an extra £320 to heat poorly insulated houses this year as energy bills soar to terrifying levels.
An all-out drive to fix the problem has long been championed. Yet last year only 72,000 homes had insulation installed, compared to 2.3 million in 2012.
Friends of the Earth say free loft and wall insulation, starting in areas of high fuel poverty, would benefit eight million households.
