The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the number of households that will become eligible for the Warm Home Discount following her Department's planned changes to the eligibility criteria in (a) Fylde constituency and (b) Lancashire.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Warm Home Discount statistics for 2024-25 were published on 26th June 2025. These statistics cover receipt of the WHD for winter 2024/25. Estimates of future eligibility are not available at county or constituency level. Across Great Britain, we will be extending the WHD to an estimated additional 2.7 million households and bringing the overall number of households supported to around 6 million.
