answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2020 answer text <p>The Department estimates that approximately 5%, by floor area, of the 1.8m non-domestic properties in England and Wales use oil or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) for space heating and hot water (4% oil, 1% LPG). This is based on the Business Energy Efficiency Survey (published 2016) which covers England and Wales. We do not have sufficient data to make this assessment for non-domestic properties in Scotland and Northern Ireland where heat policy is mostly devolved. The Department is continuing to build its evidence base for non-domestic buildings.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 29/09/2020 15:33:31 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
