Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced three new government measures to help households with the rising energy prices.

Domestic electricity customers will receive a discount on their bills worth £200 from October whilst those living in council tax bands A to D will receive a £150 rebate in April. Local authorities will be given a discretionary fund of nearly £150 million to help those lower income households who happen to live in higher council tax properties. Report by Alibhaiz.
