answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>The Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding (EBSS AF) will provide a £400 support payment to those households without a direct relationship to a domestic energy supplier and who have not received this support automatically through their energy provider. As such, these households will receive the same level of support with their energy bills as those consumers who have received their support automatically under the EBSS. Therefore, the Government will not be making an assessment on providing compensation to these households receiving the EBSS AF support.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 15/02/2023 14:01:20 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
