Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Martin McCluskey)

I am proud that the Government have extended the warm home discount to an extra 2.7 million households, taking the total to around 6 million. Last week, we announced that the scheme would continue supporting households for a further five years to 2031. This will make a vital difference to so many families this winter, including an additional 190,000 households in Yorkshire and the Humber.
