answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2023 answer text <p>Households that use coal as a fuel source are eligible for the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP).</p><p> </p><p>The AFP was originally announced in September 2022 as a £100 payment. This amount was based on capping the year-on-year price rises that heating oil users faced in 2022, compared to 2021 at 130%. Internal analysis indicates that the price of coal had risen by an amount lower than 130% so the benefit is fair to coal users.</p><p> </p><p>In November 2022, the Government doubled the AFP to £200 in recognition of the cost-of-living pressures caused by these rising fuel costs.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 23/03/2023 17:25:50 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway
