Chancellor quote for CMA's review into the heating oil sector

Ahead of the publication of the CMA's review on the heating oil sector, please find below a quote from the Chancellor for inclusion if you are planning to cover.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said:

"When the conflict in the Middle East drove a sharp rise in heating oil prices, I acted quickly to get financial support to homes reliant on oil. I also asked the CMA to investigate the market to make sure consumers were being treated fairly.

"It is reassuring to know it is a competitive market but the lack of protection for these households does concern me so we will look very seriously at what can be done.
