Cost of Living: Blackburn

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the effect of rising fuel prices on household finances in Blackburn constituency.

Answer

The Government is conscious of the impact of fuel prices on household finances across the country.
