That this House notes that many people rely on oil to heat their homes; further notes that the average price for heating oil tends to be less than 50 pence per litre; is concerned that the average price of heating oil has shot up to 70 pence per litre and that some people are being forced to pay two pounds per litre; and calls on the Government and suppliers to take steps to reduce the cost of heating oil and ensure everyone can afford to keep their home warm.
