To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he plans to take steps to provide additional financial support with energy bills for charity children’s hospices including Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, in the context of rising energy bills.

The Government has committed to carrying out a review of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme to inform decisions on future support after March 2023. Over the course of the review, the Government will be engaging widely to understand those who are most in need of further support. The findings of the review will be published by the end of the year.
