Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what support measures his Department will introduce to assist those who use oil to heat their homes with the rising cost of energy.
The Alternative Fuel Payment will provide a one-off payment of £100 to UK households that use alternative fuels for heating, such as heating oil. This payment will ensure that households who do not benefit through the Energy Price Guarantee receive support for the cost of the fuel they do use, comparable to the support provided to on grid gas users.
