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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether private tenants who pay for their electricity through their landlord in cases where their landlord operates as a business will be eligible to apply for the £400 Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding.

The Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding will provide a £400 payment for the small percentage of households who will not receive the Energy Bills Support Scheme, including those who do not have a direct relationship with an electricity supplier. The application portal will include an eligibility overview and information on what applicants need to do to apply for energy bills support under the scheme.
