Middle East: Economic Update

Contribution

It took 200 days for the previous Government to act on heating oil, and it took us under two weeks. We have put in £53 million, and that money is allocated based on heating oil usage in different parts of the country. None of the £53 million will go to help my constituents in Leeds West and Pudsey because we do not use heating oil, but there will be support for Scottish and Northern Irish constituencies and many others, because it is the right thing to do.
