Clwyd East MP Becky Gittins (pictured) has written to Chancellor Rachel Reed asking if people using oil to heat their homes as prices rises due to the war in the Middle East can be given more support.
In a social media post on Friday the Labour member says: "Earlier this week I shared concerns about the sharp rise in heating oil prices and the impact this is having on many households across our rural communities.
"Since then, I have written to the Chancellor to see what further support can be given for people who rely on heating oil. The Government is also engaging with the energy industry and has asked the Competition and Markets Authority to urgently look at market practices and pricing in the sector.
"I know how worrying this situation is, particularly as many off-grid homes rely on heating oil to heat both their homes and their water.
"If you are struggling with energy costs, support may be available through schemes such as the Warm Homes Discount or the Welsh Government’s Nest Energy Advice service.
"If you would like to discuss this further or need help accessing support, please get in touch with my office at becky.gittins.mp@parliament.uk
