To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he has taken to ensure that households in Northern Ireland will be able to receive the £400 energy bill discount of in October 2022.
As I have set out , the UK Government is urgently working to ensure the people of Northern Ireland receive the equivalent of the 26 May Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) expansion announcement as soon as possible.
