Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether people who live on houseboats as continuous cruisers are eligible to receive the alternative fuel payment.

The Government is keen to support these households and to ensure that they can receive the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) via the Alternative Fund (AF) where eligible. The Government is 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.
