Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps the Government has taken to ensure that people who receive their energy supply through a third party can receive the £400 energy grant announced by the Government.

The Government knows that there will be different considerations for consumers depending on their circumstances and the way in which they pay their energy bills.

All domestic electricity customers who have a direct relationship with a licensed electricity supplier will be automatically eligible for this Scheme. The Government continues to work closely with consumer groups and suppliers to deliver the Scheme in a convenient way to domestic energy customers, including those who receive their energy supply through a third party.
