Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether support is available to rural households and businesses reliant on LPG in addition to the Crisis and Resilience Fund.

The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) is available in England to support low-income households reliant on LPG who are facing a crisis and need immediate financial support. It is for local authorities to determine individual need and the most appropriate form of support, using a person centred, needs based approach in line with the Fund’s guidance. The CRF does not offer business support.
