	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>The Warm Home Discount scheme is a key policy that provides rebates to low-income and vulnerable households. The Government expanded the scheme in England and Wales to support around 3 million households and reformed the scheme to focus the support to households likely to be facing the most severe fuel poverty. Based on the fuel poverty statistics published in February 2023, the Government estimates that 2.3 million fuel poor households in England in 2022 were not eligible. This includes those who are fuel poor under the Low Income Low Energy Efficiency indicator but who do not claim means-tested benefits and are therefore not eligible under the scheme.</p><p>The Government has provided extensive help through other schemes and payments. By the end of June this year, the Government will have covered nearly half a typical household’s energy bill through the Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bills Support Scheme since October, with a typical household saving around £1,500.</p><p><a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Ffuel-poverty-statistics%232022-statistics&amp;data=05%7C01%7CRory.Owens%40beis.gov.uk%7Cb9f8ec9648c94d7cad7008db666e6602%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638216396558449433%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=T5o29LEqoUsC5aj08oJnKPR0qllWaFX6oPqSdH82n6w%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Fuel poverty statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a></p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 07/06/2023 15:31:50 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway
