Heating Oil Prices: Rural Areas

Contribution

The hon. Member makes a characteristically interesting point, in which there may be some truth. The price increases because of the war in Iran have led to some households having their bills doubled or even trebled. Age UK has given me some stats, and here are a couple of examples. One 80-year-old man with serious health problems saw the cost of filling his heating oil tank double from £400 in January to £800 in March. Imagine that.
