Fuel Oil: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help ensure that an accurate record exists of which homes are reliant on Home Heating Oil for heating.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Information on the heating fuels used by households is published by the Office for National Statistics and the Devolved Administrations. For more information, please see here - Constituency data: Households off the gas grid - House of Commons Library
The Government has made £53 million of additional support available to help low-come households who use heating oil. In England this has been allocated to Local Authorities via the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF). Households should apply to their local authority and provide any evidence that is requested.
