A Lanarkshire MSP has demanded urgent financial intervention from the UK government to support people with spiralling energy costs.
Motherwell and Wishaw MSP Clare Adamson has called on the UK Government to scrap the upcoming increase to the energy price cap, double the energy grant to £800 and ensure all payments are made by the beginning of October.
She'd also like to see them introduce an energy price cap for small and medium enterprises and bring in a further broader windfall tax to include all large businesses who made significant profits during the pandemic.
