Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make an assessment with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, of the potential merits of providing increased support to people on low incomes who are not eligible for the Warm Homes Discount as a result of their property or accommodation not meeting the required energy cost score.
Answered by Graham Stuart
The Government has expanded the Warm Home Discount scheme this year, providing the £150 rebate to over 3 million households, an increase of 800,000.
Energy suppliers can also provide additional support to households through the Industry Initiatives portion of the scheme, through measures such as financial assistance, debt write-off, benefit entitlement checks, energy advice and energy efficiency. This support can be provided to households, irrespective of whether they are eligible for a rebate.
The scheme comes on top of additional support the Government is providing this winter and next winter, including through the Energy Price Guarantee and Cost of Living Payments.

Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to ensure that domestic consumers are prioritised in the distribution of domestically produced gas.
Answered by Greg Hands
Energy security is a top priority for this Government. Great Britain benefits from highly diverse and flexible sources of gas supply and a diverse electricity mix, which ensures that households, businesses, and heavy industry get the energy they need. The Government remains confident that Great Britain's energy security will be maintained.
In the event of a gas supply emergency, National Grid Gas, as the system operator, has long-standing response plans that prioritise domestic customers.
