John Stevenson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he is taking to support businesses with energy prices.
Gareth Davies: The Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) will provide all eligible businesses and other non-domestic energy users with a discount on high energy bills until 31 March 2024.
It will also provide businesses in sectors with particularly high levels of energy use and trade intensity with a higher level of support.
This follows the unprecedented package of support for non-domestic users last winter provided through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme.
