Last winter saw a sharp rise in the price of fuel oil, used to heat many homes in Cornwall. Since then I have been putting pressure on the Government to take action to prevent similar rises this winter, and welcomed the subsequent commissioning of an Office of Fair Trading report to look into the problem.
In the House of Commons last week I asked for an update on the progress of that investigation, and was assured that the Office of Fair Trading report into fuel oil prices would be published in the autumn. The Government will then study the conclusions of the report, and decide exactly what measures need to be introduced to make sure that the problems of last winter are not repeated.
