MP Helen Morgan has urged the business secretary to introduce a price cap on heating oil to protect off-grid homes from spiralling prices this winter.

The North Shropshire MP has joined forces with fellow Lib Dems in rural constituencies to call for a cap of between 70p and 80p per litre after prices reached 95p in October.

Helen Morgan said that more than 20,000 Shropshire households who rely on heating oil due to being off the gas grid had been 'neglected' by the Conservatives. Helen Morgan, North Shropshire MP, said: “Rural communities like North Shropshire are bearing the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis but have repeatedly been neglected by Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives.

“They deserve support and Liberal Democrats have a clear solution: extend the price cap to heating oil.
