The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what support she will introduce to assist people with oil heating through the current kerosine price increases.

Answered by James Murray

The government recognises the pressures facing households who rely on heating oil. This is why we are providing an additional £53 million of targeted support for vulnerable households, largely in rural communities.
