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 an estimate of the number and proportion of households who will not receive funding through the Alternative Fuels Payment Alternative Fund because they did not retain receipts but would otherwise have been eligible.

No estimate has been made. The Government understands that alternative fuel users are routinely provided with suitable documentation through their fuel provider and, where necessary, fuel suppliers have indicated that they can reissue receipts.

The receipts must show a date of purchase between September 2022 and the end of the application window on 31 May 2023.
