The SDLP has proposed a new scheme designed to support households in Northern Ireland which rely on home heating oil.
The scheme would see 1,000 litres of home heating oil provided to all domestic consumers across Northern Ireland over the next year, implemented through a self-enrolment voucher scheme in conjunction with oil providers and with oversight from the Utility Regulator.
It would be designed broadly along the lines of the High Street Voucher scheme implemented to aid Covid recovery, the party says.
