Struggling residents have slammed the UK government after it was revealed that up to 90,000 families have been unable to take advantage of government help on pre-payment meters.
Latest figures show that 32 per cent of all 867,000 vouchers issued in Scotland for the last three months of 2022 were not redeemed and MP Ronnie Cowan believes this is largely down to a chaotic system failing to send vouchers to the right people.
The MP spoke out after the government’s business and energy department showed that 274,000 issued vouchers were not redeemed report the Record.
