Fuel Oil
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Fuel Distribution Industry Federation on the supply of heating oil to vulnerable households.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State has written to the UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) reminding distributors of their obligations under the UKIFDA Code of Practice, which includes provisions on the fair treatment of vulnerable customers. Industry schemes, such as UKIFDA’s Cold Weather Priority scheme, help to identify and prioritise vulnerable households. The Government continues to monitor heating oil supply and market conditions, as well as any impact on those most at risk.
