Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent progress his Department has made on ensuring that people without a permanent address can access the Energy Bill Support Scheme Alternative Funding.

The Government has been engaging with key stakeholder groups who represent those households without a permanent address. Officials are working to establish whether there is a robust method for these households to provide proof of eligibility, whilst protecting public funds, so they can claim the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding support.
