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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he will take to ensure that disabled people and their families are able to heat their homes to a safe temperature.

The Government is committed to protecting vulnerable customers, particularly those with disabilities. The Government’s Energy Price Guarantee will save a typical British household around £900 this winter. In addition, the Energy Bill Support Scheme gives households £400 off their energy bills, meaning a typical household will save around £1300. Around six million people across the UK who receive a Disability Living Allowance also received a one-off payment of £150 in September.
