Prime Minister Andy Burnham will begin a national tour on Monday, 11 August, to hear concerns about the cost of living as his government prepares to announce further measures aimed at easing pressure on household bills.
Burnham is expected to spend much of August travelling around the UK in what officials have described as a period of 'listening mode'. The tour will also give him an opportunity to promote his 10-year plan for the country while gathering views from voters on the financial pressures they are facing.
