The Government introduced the Energy Prices Bill in Parliament on 12th October. The Bill includes provisions to require landlords to pass benefits received from the Energy Price Guarantee, Energy Bills Support Scheme, or Energy Bill Relief Scheme as appropriate to tenants who pay all-inclusive bills.<\/p>

The legislation makes clear that intermediaries must pass the benefits to the end user. The government will introduce regulations to allow end users to recover any benefits they are due as a debt if they do not receive them by a specified period. This means that end users will be able to pursue recovery of benefits through civil proceedings.<\/p>"}
