answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2023 answer text <p>The Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS) provides a discount on the wholesale element of gas and electricity bills to ensure that all eligible small businesses that receive their energy from licensed suppliers, are protected from high energy costs over the winter period. The EBRS discount is applied directly to the energy bills of eligible businesses by their energy providers. Therefore the Government does not currently have a breakdown of support received by location.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 31/01/2023 16:53:09 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
