Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will have discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the potential merits of introducing an energy social tariff to assist disabled people with energy costs.

The Government is continuing to support those most in need with millions of vulnerable households receiving up to £900 in further cost of living payments, with an extra £150 to those on eligible disability payments. This is in addition to the established support of the Winter Fuel Payment worth between £250-£600 and the £150 off energy bills from the Warm Home Discount, which many disabled people will be eligible for

The Government continues to monitor the situation and will keep options under review with respect to the most vulnerable households.
