Fuel Oil: Government Assistance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what methodology was used to determine the distribution of funding of the Heating Oil Support Scheme between the four nations.
Answered by James Murray
The government has acted quickly to provide timely, targeted support to low-income households struggling with the rising price of heating oils, based on the latest census data.
This means the funding is distributed in line where the most vulnerable oil-heated homes are concentrated.
