Heating: Liquefied Petroleum Gas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help protect consumers who require LPG for home heating from global price instability.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Households that rely on LPG may be eligible for support through the Crisis and Resilience Fund. Guidance issued to local authorities makes clear that crisis payments may be used to assist with energy costs associated with any fuel used for domestic heating, cooking or lighting, including bulk LPG and portable gas cylinders.
Local authorities are responsible for assessing individual circumstances and determining the most appropriate form of support, in accordance with the Fund’s guidance and its person-centred, needs-based approach.
In addition, all domestic electricity consumers will benefit from measures announced at the Budget, under where the price cap has fallen by 7% and will be fixed until July.
