That this House congratulates Peabody Trust, the capital's largest housing association providing homes for 27,000 Londoners, for its joint initiative with Greenpeace on a benchmark solar project which has furnished three terraced home in Silvertown in London's docklands with completely solar-powered resources; notes that each house is expected to save a third of its electricity bills a year - around ú60 - resulting not just in savings for people on low incomes but also helping to protect the climate by utilising a safe and clean renewable resource; and calls on the Government to re-direct the monies currently spent supporting the fossil fuel industry in the United Kingdom to provide capital grants for a national solar programme to deliver a minimum of 50,000 solar-powered homes by 2010.
