Illustrative examples of the level of discount that could be received under the EBRS and EPG have been published on GOV.UK, as well as the unit rate reductions for the EPG scheme for the periods of October to December and January to March. Given the number of different contractual arrangements, range of demand and complexity of the non-domestic market, it would not be practical to undertake a direct comparative analysis between the two schemes.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 02/12/2022 10:05:41 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart previous answer version 38201 answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

uin	92080
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2022 answer text <p>Households with a domestic electricity supply will automatically receive the Energy Bills Support Scheme discount of £400. To ensure that this energy support reaches the intended beneficiaries, the Government has introduced regulations so that intermediaries, such as landlords, are required to pass on the financial benefit to their tenants. These pass-through requirements apply to tenants who do not have a direct relationship with an energy supplier, for example, where there is a main meter. If the landlord does not pass on the benefit, the tenant can pursue recovery of the benefit as a civil debt through the county courts.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 30/11/2022 12:49:33 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart previous answer version 37831 answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
