Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the level of the Warm Homes Discount.

There are currently no plans to review the Warm Home Discount rebate value, and this will remain at £150 for the remainder of the scheme.

We have recently published a consultation on expanding the Warm Home Discount Scheme for next winter, where we propose to remove the high cost to heat threshold, making all those on means tested benefits eligible for the scheme. These proposals would bring around 2.7 million households into the scheme – pushing the total number of households that would receive the discount next winter up to around 6 million.

We are exploring options to improve the design of the scheme beyond the current regulations which expire in 2026.
