Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of including household Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) data in the methodology used to allocate support funding to each UK nation for heating oil and LPG‑heated properties announced on 16 March 2026.
The government has acted quickly to provide timely, targeted support to those households struggling with the rising price of heating oil.
In England, Crisis Payments can be provided by local authorities to support the purchase of any form of fuel that is used for domestic heating, cooking or lighting.
In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is for the relevant devolved government to deliver support as they see fit.
