Price cap
Poll: Would you support exchequer funds being used for an energy price cap?
Plans for a price cap in the UK could cost €115 billion.
NEW UK PRIME Minister Liz Truss is expected to unveil a costly plan to freeze domestic fuel bills to help ease the burden of a soaring cost-of-living crisis.
But the price cap plan will be funded by increased borrowing and could top more than £100 billion (€115 billion), surpassing Britain’s Covid-era furlough jobs support scheme.
Here at home, Ministers are also looking at multi-billion euro budget day measures to help ease the cost-of-living crisis.
So we want to know, given the potential cost of the UK energy freeze plan… Would you support exchequer funds being used for an energy price cap?
