Business groups have welcomed today's Government announcement of support for businesses hit by soaring energy costs - but say more swift action is needed to help key sectors such as hospitality.
The Government today announced it would cap energy bills for non-domestic properties from October 1 as part of a package of support aimed at averting the potential collapse of thousands of businesses.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said the energy support “will be a lifeline for many pubs and brewers this winter”.
