Fuel Oil: South Suffolk
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of changes in the level of aviation fuel demand on the availability and pricing of kerosene for domestic heating consumers in South Suffolk constituency.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The UK benefits from strong, diverse fuel supply chains, with secure domestic and international routes. The Government is working with industry to monitor supply and maintain stability. We recognise that heating oil users are exposed to short-term global price volatility, which is a significant concern. The Competition and Markets Authority is currently undertaking an accelerated heating oil market study, and the Government will act on its findings to support improved consumer outcomes. In response to rising prices, the Chancellor has announced £53 million to support low‑income households reliant on oil heating.
