Fuel Poverty: Government Assistance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of support for fuel poor households.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Tackling fuel poverty is a priority for this Government. That is why the Government recently published a new fuel poverty strategy for England alongside the Warm Homes Plan, to ensure that many more fuel poor households are protected by 2030.
With this new strategy, Government is determined to double the pace at which we slash fuel poverty.
This strategy is accompanied by our £15 billion Warm Homes Plan – the biggest home upgrade plan in British history. The actions set out in this plan will reduce energy use, lower bills for millions of households, and help to lift up to a million families out of fuel poverty by 2030.
