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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Government's energy rebate scheme that is provided to domestic consumers will also be made available to (a) YMCA and (b) other housing charities which have a centralised contract for energy in their hostels.

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