Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he will extend the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment to all households without a direct relationship to an energy supplier.
Answered by Graham Stuart
The Government is not planning to extend the current eligibility of the Alternative Fuel Payment.
Every household that does not source its central heating directly from an energy supplier should be benefiting from Government support this winter, either through the benefits of the Energy Price Guarantee or the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, passed through an intermediary, or via the Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund.
