Tell us why this is interestingAlmost a quarter of the population will be pushed into fuel poverty by the end of next year, a report has suggested.

By the end of 2009, 5.7 million UK households will be spending at least 10% of their income on energy bills, the National Housing Federation said.

Average household electricity bills are expected to increase to more than £500 per year by 2010, and gas bills to around £900.

The government said it was doing a great deal to help reduce fuel bills.
