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 it his policy to exempt secondary residences from eligibility for the £400 energy payment grants; and if he will make a statement.
The £400 grant will be delivered to households via energy suppliers through electricity bills over six months from October.
The Government held a technical consultation on the Energy Bills Support Scheme from 11 April to 23 May. The responses to this consultation are being analysed and a response will be published later in the summer.
