Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline any discussions he has had with the Housing Executive to carry out an up-to-date survey providing updated figures for fuel poverty in each council area.

Answer:

The level of fuel poverty is measured by the NI Housing Executive through the Northern Ireland House Condition Survey which is currently being conducted and is expected to report in Autumn 2017.

The House Condition Survey will provide data to update key measures in relation to the current housing stock. This data will include updated figures for fuel poverty at council level.
