Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he will introduce further financial support packages on the cost of energy for people reliant on heating oil.

The Alternative Fuel Payment scheme will provide a £100 one-off payment to UK households that use alternative fuels for heating, such as heating oil or LPG, instead of mains gas. The £100 is designed by reference to past increases in the cost of heating oil (from September 2021 to September 2022). The Government will be monitoring the price of heating oil and other alternative fuels closely in the months ahead to see if further payments are required in future.
