Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what progress has her Department made in implementing the recommendations arising from the Competition and Markets Authority's heating oil market study.

It is clear that the heating oil sector is not working as it should for consumers, and we welcome the CMA’s report identifying issues in the sector. We will fight the corner of all those affected by the rise in heating oil prices, including those in rural communities, and we have acted swiftly to get support to these households as quickly as possible.

We are considering the CMA’s recommendations to create a fairer system for households and commit to issuing an official response within 90 days of publication.
