More than a quarter of Scottish homes are stuck in fuel poverty despite a government pledge to have eradicated the problem.
The number of households which spend too much on heating (where 10 per cent or more of the household income goes on heating) in 2016, is 649,000, about 26.5 per cent of all homes in Scotland.
Rural areas of Scotland fare worse with fuel poverty rates of 37 per cent, the figures show, while in social housing the rate remained at 32 per cent.
