In an effort to help offset the financial burden of the worsening cost of living crisis, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak unveiled a £15 billion package of funding for households across Scotland and the UK.
Following the news that the energy price cap is expected to rise by a further £830 in October, Sunak announced that every household in the UK would be given a £400 discount on their energy bills.
The new £15 billion package follows the £22 billion of support from the UK Government previously announced in February.
