Boris Johnson has been challenged to “put cash in peoples’ pockets” by turning the £200 consumer energy loan into a grant.
Ian Blackford, the SNP Westminster leader, called on the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to help people who face a £700 price hike on Friday when the energy price cap is lifted.
At Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons Blackford said the Chancellor’s Spring Statement did not touch the sides of the cost of living crisis faced by millions.
