Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department provided guidance to energy suppliers on the disbursement of first domestic alternative fuel payments to (a) home owners and (b) second homer owners.

For the main Alternative Fuel Payment scheme, energy suppliers were obliged to pay customers during February, for which Government produced a list of eligible Meter Point Administration Numbers (MPANs) and told electricity suppliers to pay those customers. Guidance to suppliers on how this process should be completed was published on January 23rd and is available here:
