The scheme to help people who missed out on last winter's energy subsidy should be reopened, a senior MP says.
The Alternative Funding scheme was set up for households such as those in narrow boats or park homesA scheme designed to help people who missed out on last winter's £400 energy bill subsidy was a "staggering failure", a senior MP has said.
But people who live off-grid, on narrow boats, travellers, people in park homes and some tenants and people on heat networks, did not automatically receive the support, because they did not have an energy provider. Mr MacNeil, a former SNP member, who now sits as an independent and chairs Parliament's energy security and net zero committee, said the scheme should be improved and extended so that people could claim the subsidy they were entitled to.
