The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support residents in North Shropshire with the cost of purchasing liquefied petroleum gas to heat their homes.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

My Rt. Hon. Friend the Chancellor has announced £53m for low-income families, who heat their homes with oil to help tackle surging prices, and households who use LPG are eligible to apply.

In England, funding will be distributed by local authorities via the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF), which comes into effect from 1 April.
