Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of (a) the number of people living in homes with a communal heating system who are not subject to the domestic energy price cap for their heating and (b) the cost to this group of not being covered by the Government's energy price guarantee this winter.
