Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment, when his Department will issue guidance to energy companies on administering the payment.
The Alternative Fuel Payment of £200 will provide support for those in properties using fuels such as heating oil, liquified petroleum gas, coal or biomass for heating. Officials are working very closely with energy companies on its implementation, which will include issuing formal written guidance to them very soon.
