Four people facing significantly higher bills left unimpressed by chancellor’s £9bn package
As British households face a record 54% rise in energy billsfrom April, the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has announced a £9bn plan intended to mitigate the cost-of-living crisis facing the nation.
All households will receive a one-off £200 upfront discount on their energy bills this year, which, however, will be automatically recovered from people’s bills in £40 instalments over the five years from 2023.
