answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2022 answer text <p>The Government will publish a review of the scheme in three months, which will consider how to support customers who are the most vulnerable to energy price increases. These are likely to be those who are least able to adjust, for example by reducing energy usage or increasing energy efficiency. The review will consider how effective the scheme has been in supporting vulnerable non-domestic customers and which groups of non-domestic customers remain particularly vulnerable to energy price rises. Continuing support to those deemed eligible would begin at the end of the initial 6-month support scheme, without a gap.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 12/10/2022 09:04:42 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
