Warm Home Discount Scheme: Houseboats
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to extend the Warm Homes Discount to people living on houseboats.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
In February 2025, the Government consulted on expanding the existing Park Homes Warm Home Discount Scheme to households without a direct relationship with an energy supplier, which included houseboats. Despite support for the proposal, it was considered that any extension of support to people without a direct relationship with an energy supplier cannot be achieved within the existing Industry Initiatives budget.
