Conservative — Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2026

Debate

Heating Oil Prices: Rural Areas

Contribution

The hon. Member is making an excellent speech. Thousands of my constituents rely on heating oil. Although the Government are taking VAT off electricity and have announced the removal of standing charges for electricity customers, those things do nothing to help heating oil customers. Does he agree that the Government really need to focus on those customers to ensure that they are getting the help they need?
