Fuel Oil: Prices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he plans to make provision to support households who use oil heating and who will be unable to afford to heat their homes in winter with the aid of financial support already announced.

Answer

The Alternative Fuel Payment will provide a one-off payment to UK households that use alternative fuels for heating, such as heating oil. This will come in addition to the £400 provided by the Energy Bills Support Scheme and the electricity component of the Energy Price Guarantee.

The Government is also providing £800 of one-off support to eight million of the most vulnerable households to help with the cost of living.
