Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of fuel poverty amongst home owning pensioners in (a) England, (b) Greater Manchester and (c) Oldham.

The latest national and regional fuel poverty statistics for England were published in March 2025 and include data for 2024. These provide breakdowns of fuel poverty separately by tenure, age and employment status, but do not include specific figures for home owning pensioners.

The latest sub-regional fuel poverty statistics were published in April 2025 and include data for 2023. These provide estimates of fuel poverty levels in Greater Manchester and Oldham. However, since these are modelled estimates based on a national survey, they are not available by household characteristics at the local level.
