Scots are set to see their energy bills rocket after Jeremy Hunt announced the universal support scheme will be cut in April.
The new Chancellor of the Exchequer told a news conference the help will end and instead targeted and capped help will be given beyond April. Hunt announced yet another u-turn to the mini-budget after the scheme was initially rolled out for two years.
Hunt also revealed the government will continue with its planned cut to stamp duty in England and its reversal of the 1.25 percentage point increase in national insurance contributions.
