Fuel Oil: Prices
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she made of the potential impact of the recent rise in the cost of domestic heating oil on levels of fuel poverty in Wales.
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.
This funding has been allocated based on census data, and the Welsh Government will receive £3.8 million.
