Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he is taking to support businesses with energy prices.

The Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) will provide all eligible businesses and other non-domestic energy users with a discount on high energy bills until 31 March 2024.

It will also provide businesses in sectors with particularly high levels of energy use and trade intensity with a higher level of support.

This follows the unprecedented package of support for non-domestic users last winter provided through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme.
