Only Half the Truth

Like Regional Assemblies, HIPs have nothing whatsoever to do with the EU. Oh, and I saw Heath on TV a few years ago,
arguing on the same lines as Yvette Cooper, below, about metrication – it was nonsense to suggest that it had anything
to do with Brussels, because we started before we joined the EEC. Why do we keep voting for politicians who hold us in
such complete contempt that they have no qualms about feeding us on a diet of brazen lies, aka c**p, decade after
decade?
Christopher Booker Sunday Telegraph 22.01.06:
“This is a flimsy cover, however, for the real motive behind Mr Prescott’s HIP scheme – his obligation to comply with EC
directive 2002/91 requiring every home put on the market to have an “Energy Performance Certificate”, based on a formula
which measures the size of a property against recent fuel bills.”
Yvette Cooper Sunday Telegraph 29.01.06:
“The accusation that Home Information Packs are a “flimsy cover” to introduce energy performance certificates for
dwellings is pure fabrication. The Government’s intention to include an energy report in the packs was made clear six
years ago, three years prior to an EU directive requiring all homes to have energy efficiency certificates.”
Christopher Booker Sunday Telegraph 05.02.06
“Yvette Cooper denies that the need to include an energy performance certificate had anything to do with a Brussels
directive (Letters, January 29). Her officials, she says, were already discussing this three years before the directive
was issued. She omits to mention that officials in Brussels were discussing it even earlier.”
