Written Question
Fuel Poverty: Scotland
Wednesday 4th March 2015

Asked by: Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democrat - Ross, Skye and Lochaber)

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many and what proportion of people in the Scottish Highlands and Islands are classed as living in fuel poverty; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Amber Rudd

Fuel poverty is largely devolved. For instance, Scotland has its own fuel poverty target and fuel poverty indicator. In Scotland, fuel poverty is measured using the 10 per cent definition.

Fuel poverty is measured at the household level rather than the individual level. Based on the Scottish Housing Condition Survey Local Authority Analysis 2011-13, the estimated number and proportion of households in fuel poverty in the Scottish Highlands and Islands is shown in the table below.
