Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support is available to help boaters without permanent moorings with the cost of energy.

Officials are working to establish if there is a robust method for boaters without permanent moorings to prove that their boat is their main or sole residence, whilst protecting public funds, so they can claim the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding and the Alternative Fuel Payment Alternative Fund. We recommend that these households visit the ‘Help for Households’ webpage on GOV.UK to view what other support they may be eligible for - https://helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk/.
