Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many St Helenians are in fuel poverty.
The St Helena Government is reviewing how it might appropriately analyse and report fuel poverty statistics on the island, but currently it does not record this information. The FCO and DFID do not record this information.
DFID assists by contributing to efforts to alleviate the effect of the operating loss of the utilities company and to ensure that user tariffs are maintained.
