Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask His Majesty's Government what date those entitled to support under the Northern Ireland Energy Support Scheme will receive payment.
On 19 December 2022 the Government announced that all households in Northern Ireland will receive support with their energy bills this winter through a single payment of £600. This is made up of £400 of the Energy Bills Support Scheme and £200 of the Alternative Fuel Payment. This will be delivered through electricity suppliers, with payments starting in January.
