Energy Bills Rebate: Council Tax

Question for Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

UIN HL3864, tabled on 29 November 2022

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to provide alternative support to people whose residence is not in a council tax band that qualifies for a council tax rebate.

The Government recognised that some households which were not eligible for the core rebate scheme may also require support. That is why the Government provided councils with a £144 million discretionary fund to support any vulnerable household in their area, regardless of their council tax band.
