Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether suppliers of ingredients to the bakery industry are eligible for support under the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries scheme.
Following an HMT-led review into the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, the Energy Bills Discount Scheme will provide a discount to eligible non-domestic energy users from April 2023. A higher rate of support will be provided to those operating within an eligible Energy and Trade Intensive sector. Eligibility for this higher rate of support has been determined using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and the list of eligible sectors has been published on gov.uk https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1128033/230104_ETII_List_for_gov.uk.pdf
If organisations are unsure of their code, they can find out online through Companies House, by using their company name or registration number. Further information is available from Companies House on SIC code classification.
