Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 September 2025

Debate

Warm Home Discount (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

I also raise the park homes issue. I have a holiday caravan—I do not know if I need to declare that—so I realise just how cold they are and how quickly they give up the heat. I know the special arrangements that exist when you live in a park home, in that it is the park itself that provides you with the heat, and they often overcharge you. I just suggest to the Minister that, if you are in a park home and you are fully resident, it should be recorded in the council tax system. I see that the Government do not really have a road map for dealing with this, but these people live in very badly insulated homes and often in real poverty. Is there a possibility of the Government exploring a council tax rebate, perhaps, and then reclaiming that back from the energy companies as a way of trying to resolve that?
