answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2022 answer text <p>Applying a price cap in the non-domestic market is impractical given the number of different contractual arrangements, the range of prices offered and the risk of market distortion. The Energy Bill Relief Scheme has been designed to offer a comparable level of support to the domestic Energy Price Guarantee by applying a discount to the wholesale element of non-domestic customers’ bills. Legislation came into force on 1 November, shielding businesses across the United Kingdom from soaring energy prices and saving some around half of their wholesale energy costs.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 22/12/2022 13:30:39 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
