uin	122509
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2023 answer text <p>All households in Northern Ireland will receive a £600 payment, which is a combination of the £400 EBSS payment and the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment. This combined payment reflects the different nature of the energy market in Northern Ireland and higher usage of alternative fuels, such as heating oil. As in Great Britain, households without a domestic electricity contract, such as residents of park homes, caravans on registered sites, and house boats, that do not receive this payment automatically, will receive equivalent payments through the EBSS Alternative Funding. Further details will be set out in the coming weeks.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 24/01/2023 10:15:29 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
