RISHI Sunak is braced to give every household in Britain hundreds of pounds off their energy bill to help with the cost of living crisis.
, who is expected to announce the plans in the House of Commons tomorrow, could reportedly cut bills by £400 with a windfall tax on oil and gas firms.He will scrap plans for a “rebate and clawback scheme”, which would have given people a £200 discount on their bills from October,Mr Sunak will instead convert the effective loans - which would have been paid back in heftier bills later - into grants given to energy companies to dish out.
The Times reports the value of the discount could be increased to as much as £400, with no need to pay the sum back. The plans, which could set the Government back £10billion, will form part of a “mix and match” package with a series of measures to help the most vulnerable cope with soaring energy bills as well as inflation.
