Around 2,500 children in Brighton are living in families that are struggling to keep warm this winter.

The figures come from a new Children's Society report.

Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, says many families are having to choose between heating and eating. She co-chairs the All-Party Fuel Poverty parliamentary group and says that too many households are living in energy debt.
