Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what her planned timeline is for the publication of her Department's fuel poverty strategy; and if she will take steps to ensure the strategy tackles fuel poverty for disabled people.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is currently reviewing the fuel poverty strategy for England and will publish the review in due course.

Vulnerability is one of the current fuel poverty strategy’s guiding principles. This ensures that the Government specifically consider the needs of low-income households who are most at risk of the impacts of living in a cold home, such as households with an occupant who has a disability.

The Department’s review of the fuel poverty strategy will seek views on how Government could further support vulnerable people in fuel poverty.
