Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make the Alternative Fuel Payment available to (a) Gypsy and Traveller households living in encampments and (b) itinerant liveaboard boaters.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2023
The Government is keen to support these households and to ensure that they can receive the Alternative Fuel Payment via the Alternative Fund where eligible. We are currently working to find an acceptable method for these households to provide proof of eligibility, whilst protecting public funds, so they can claim the AFP AF support.
