The latest statistics for the number of households in fuel poverty in parliamentary constituencies in England, can be found in the published sub-regional fuel poverty statistics, in Table 4: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fuel-poverty-statistics. These statistics were published in line with the boundaries operating prior to the 2024 General Election.
The latest official Fuel Poverty Statistics for England were published in February 2024 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fuel-poverty-statistics#2023-statistics Annex D of this report includes an affordability measure of the number of households required to spend more than 10 per cent of their income on domestic energy. However, affordability measure estimates are not held at sub-national level.
