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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether support is available to people who fall within the Broader Group eligible for the Warm Home Discount Scheme but who cannot receive a payment as a result of the limit on the number of customers who can benefit.

Energy suppliers participating in the Warm Home Discount scheme have discretion over the criteria they use to determine which households qualify for support under the Broader Group. They are given minimum targets for Broader Group payments set by the Government, but suppliers can make further payments.
