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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what additional support he is providing for (a) young and (b) vulnerable people who live in (i) hostels and (ii) supported accommodation with energy costs within their personal service charge.

The Energy Bill Relief Scheme will provide a discount on energy bills for all eligible non-domestic customers whose current gas and electricity prices have been significantly inflated in light of global energy prices. This includes establishments such as hostels and supported accommodation on non-domestic tariffs. The Government expect such businesses to pass on the benefits under this scheme to the people who live in this kind of accommodation in a reasonable and proportionate way.
