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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will have discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on ensuring that disabled people with higher than average energy needs are supported with energy bills beyond the end of the Energy Bills Relief Scheme in March 2023.

The Government has announced unprecedented support within its Growth Plan to protect households and businesses from high energy prices. The Energy Price Guarantee and the Energy Bill Relief Scheme are supporting millions of households and businesses with rising energy costs, and they will continue to do so from now until April next year.

The Government will continue to monitor the prices of energy and will consider further intervention to protect UK households from extraordinary prices.
