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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the £100 of support for households which do not use main gas to heat their homes announced by the Government on 21 September 2022, whether that payment is a one off payment to cover the duration of the Government's energy price guarantee.

The support provided to off-grid households is intended to ensure that they do not face a higher rate of growth in their heating costs since last autumn, compared to those on gas supported by the Energy Price Guarantee. The Government will continue to closely monitor the situation to support all energy users.
