answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>The new Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS) will run from April until March 2024 and will continue to provide a discount to eligible businesses. An HMT led review into the operation of the current Energy Bill Relief Schemes was conducted with the objective of significantly reducing the overall burden on the taxpayer/public finances, and ensuring support is targeted at those most in need and unable to adjust to recent energy price rises. The review considered a range of qualitative and quantitative evidence, including input from businesses and stakeholders. The new scheme strikes a balance between supporting non-domestic customers and limiting taxpayer’s exposure to volatile energy markets, with a cap set at £5.5 billion.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 03/02/2023 11:11:35 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
