Second Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Warm Home Discount (Scotland) Regulations 2026
Parliamentary debate
This General Committee will scrutinise draft regulations updating how the Warm Home Discount scheme operates in Scotland from 2026. The scheme helps low-income households with heating costs. The debate will examine the detailed rules governing eligibility, supplier obligations, and payment mechanisms under the new regulations.
The Warm Home Discount is a key cost-of-living support for vulnerable households facing fuel poverty. Changes to how it operates in Scotland will affect hundreds of thousands of low-income families' ability to afford heating, making this regulation scrutiny important for household energy affordability and social welfare.
