The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of fuel poverty in Ely and East Cambridgeshire constituency.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The latest sub-regional fuel poverty statistics, published in April 2025, provide data for 2023. In the Ely and East Cambridge constituency, it is estimated that 4,487 households were in fuel poverty in 2023, equating to 9.6% of all households in the area.

As these sub-regional fuel poverty statistics are modelled estimates, we advise against making comparisons over time.
