The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what fiscal steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help support households with energy bills.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government is continuing to deliver the Warm Home Discount which provides an annual £150 rebate off energy bills for eligible low-income households.

In November Energy UK, in collaboration with the Government, published a Winter 2024 Commitment which promises £500m of industry support to billpayers this winter. It also outlines how 15 energy suppliers representing almost the entire market will continue to provide a range of financial support tailored to the needs of their customers.
