answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government currently has no plans to review the eligibility criteria for the Energy and Trade Intensive element of the Energy Bill Discount Scheme. The HMT-led review of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme took account of many contributions from the private sector, trade associations, the voluntary sector and other types of organisations. Trade and energy intensity assessments were based on ONS and BEIS data. These thresholds have been set at sectors falling above the 80th percentile for energy intensity, and 60th percentile for trade intensity, plus any sectors eligible for the existing energy compensation and exemption schemes. The list of eligible Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), as published on gov.uk, will be eligible for the higher level of support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 10/02/2023 10:17:52 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
