Chris Seeks Specific Park Home Count For Energy Bills Support Scheme
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the impact assessment for the Energy Bills Support Scheme, published on 12 October 2022, on what evidential basis table 12 indicates that there are between 85,000 and 125,000 park homes; and if he will take steps to make a more precise estimate of the number of park homes.
Amanda Solloway Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government used information from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and from the Scottish and Welsh governments, to estimate the number of park home households eligible for the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding. As the scheme is now closed to new applications, the department will not be taking any further steps to estimate the number of households who were eligible for support.
