Nicola Sturgeon has pledged that “every single penny” of additional money Scotland receives from energy bill and council tax rebates will be used to support people with the cost of living crisis.
The First Minister was asked about the decision by energy regulator Ofgem to hike the price cap to a record £1,971 for a typical household, with bills expected to rise by £693 per year from the beginning of April.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that all households will get a £200 discount on bills from October, but that will have to be repaid over five years.
