To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department is taking steps to include residential care homes in the domestic energy price cap.

Those care home residents that pay individually for their energy, i.e. they have their own gas and/or electricity meters, will be captured by the domestic energy price cap. Whereas, the care home itself will be captured by the non-domestic scheme if energy bills are paid for centrally by the business running the care home. The Department will soon introduce legislation to ensure the cost savings are passed on to residents.
