Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The department has not made a formal assessment of the impact of changes in demand for cider on cider apple orchards or the farmers who depend on them. A range of factors can affect the viability of orchards, including production costs, yields, market conditions and consumer demand. Defra continues to engage with stakeholders on issues relating to cider apple orchards and supports their management through agri-environment schemes and grants. |

Warm Homes Plan: Rural Areas
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Tuesday 20th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will consider allocating a proportion of the resources being made available under the Warm Homes Plan to fund research into tackling issues preventing people in rural communities who are off the gas grid from decarbonising their homes. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Through the Warm Homes Plan, we will put communities at the centre of delivery, devolving funding so regional and local government accelerate home and building upgrades according to their needs.
For off-grid homes in particular, the Government recently increased the grant amount available for heat pump installations through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to £9,000 for homes heated by oil or LPG, in direct response to the situation in the Middle East.
It’s worth noting that heat pumps work well across different property types and there is already strong uptake in rural areas, with 50% of grants awarded to rural properties and 39% to homes off the gas grid.
The Government does however recognise the particular challenges, and we are currently undertaking specific research to improve understanding of the costs and practicalities of decarbonising more complex housing archetypes. Results will be available soon and will help inform future policy decisions. |

Fuel Oil: Regulation
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Tuesday 20th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what her Department’s timetable is for introducing regulation of the heating oil sector; and how she plans to engage with rural residents who are off grid and dependent on heating oil on regulatory proposals. Answered by Polly Billington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The government published its formal response to the CMA heating oil report on 13 October, confirming it will take forward proposals to introduce stronger regulations for the first time.
The government will take forward a programme of reform to establish a stronger consumer protection framework for households. Working with Ofgem, the devolved governments and industry and consumer representatives, we will develop options for proportionate regulation that puts consumer rights at its core, while supporting competition, investment and security of supply.
This will be underpinned by a robust evidence base, extensive engagement and the appropriate legislative framework. The Government is regulating the heat oil sector for the first time. |

Fuel Oil: Prices
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Tuesday 20th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether her Department plans to provide immediate financial support to off grid households dependent on heating oil in winter 2026-27. Answered by Polly Billington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government recognises the particular challenges faced by households that rely on heating oil as their primary source of heating.
This year, the Government announced £53 million of support for low-income households that use any fuel for domestic heating, cooking or lighting, helping to address rising energy costs.
For those considering alternatives to oil heating, the Government is supporting the installation of low-carbon heating through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for eligible households in England and Wales. A time-limited higher grant of £9,000 is available for eligible off-gas-grid properties replacing oil or LPG heating systems, helping households and small businesses most exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices to switch to low-carbon heating.
In addition, the government published its formal response to the CMA heating oil report on 13 October, and is taking forward proposals to regulate the heating oil sector for the first time. |

Fuel Oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas: Rural Areas
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Tuesday 20th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what progress her Department has made on developing policies to support rural residents who are off the gas grid with increases in the price of heating oil and Liquid Petroleum Gas in winter 2026-27. Answered by Polly Billington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government recognises the particular challenges faced by households in rural and remote areas that are not connected to the electricity grid. Many of these households rely on heating oil and LPG as their primary source of heating.
This year, the Government announced £53 million of support for low-income households that use any fuel for domestic heating, cooking or lighting, helping to address rising energy costs.
For those considering alternatives to oil heating, the Government is supporting the installation of low-carbon heating through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for eligible households in England and Wales. A time-limited higher grant of £9,000 is available for eligible off-gas-grid properties replacing oil or LPG heating systems, helping households and small businesses most exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices to switch to low-carbon heating.
In addition, the government published its formal response to the CMA heating oil report on 13 October, and is taking forward proposals to regulate the heating oil sector for the first time. |

Energy: Prices
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Tuesday 20th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what progress her Department has made on developing policies offering rural residents who are off the gas grid similar levels of protection from energy price rises to those available to households on the gas grid. Answered by Polly Billington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) This government is determined to ensure consumers reliant on heating oil are treated fairly and better protected, including during times of international volatility.
The CMA found that recent increases in heating oil prices were largely driven by higher wholesale costs rather than a lack of competition or excessive profits.
The government published its formal response to the CMA heating oil report on 13 October, confirming it will taking forward proposals to regulate the heating oil sector for the first time, and agreeing with the CMA that we will not be replicating the gas and electricity price cap. Instead, we will focus on a programme of reform to strengthening consumer protections.
However, this government does recognise the impact that heating oil price increases has had on households, which is why we took action to introduce over £50m of support to help with costs. Households in England can access immediate support from their local authority through the Crisis & Resilience Fund. |
