Labour — West Lancashire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2026

Debate

Heating Oil Prices: Rural Areas

Contribution

I agree with the hon. Member that households reliant on heating oil, including those in my constituency of West Lancashire, face particular issues, especially around price volatility and the absence of the consumer protections that users of electricity and gas might have. But does he not welcome the Government’s previous £50 million investment in supporting the sector, including working with Ofgem, the industry and consumers to bring forward consumer protections? [Interruption.]
