Liz Truss announced a new scheme to help ease the cost-of-living crisis
Businesses and charities have been reacting to Liz Truss' energy announcement in the House of Commons today .
The national disability charity Sense has raised concerns that the energy cap freeze announced today by the Government will fail to adequately protect disabled households, who are disproportionately affected by rising costs and use more energy for essential equipment. The End Fuel Poverty Coalition called the energy announcement an “expensive sticking plaster” without further investment in improving energy efficiency of homes worst affected by fuel poverty. Coalition co-ordinator Simon Francis said: “While many households will breathe a sigh of relief, the Prime Minister offered no detail of additional support for the millions of households who will be left behind in fuel poverty this winter.
