London hospitality businesses are facing the prospect of almost a £4,500 rise in annual energy bills once Government support is slashed, analysis from the Liberal Democrats has found.

Earlier this month the Government confirmed the current rate of support for businesses, introduced in September, will be lowered in April, with a new discount scheme to replace it until March 31 next year.
