Downing Street on Friday gave assurance that the freeze of energy bills will be delivered as planned despite parliamentary businesses being suspended in the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.
In her first major policy intervention, Prime Minister Liz Truss on Thursday announced a two-year Energy Price Guarantee scheme that will cap a typical household’s energy bill at £2,500 per year, around £1,000 less than what the price was set to rise to from Oct. 1. Similar support will be given to businesses to help them with high energy costs.
