Business of the House

Contribution

I have been inundated, as have many in the House, with messages from constituents facing impossible heating oil costs, with one telling me that their 500-litre order has soared from £302 to over £900. At yesterday’s meeting arranged by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, the Government said that people should apply to their local council for emergency support via the crisis and resilience fund; however, we know that councils are on their knees financially and simply do not have that money. Additionally, the fund is England-only. May we have a debate in the House on the need for the UK Government to take responsibility by providing new crisis support funding for off-grid households in Wales and the other devolved nations?
