Liz Truss announces £2,500 energy price freeze in new emergency measures

Liz Truss has announced major new plans to tackle soaring energy bills all across the UK.

The new Prime Minister told MPs on Thursday that domestic bills will be frozen at £2,500 as part of "two year energy price guarantee" to alleviate households' financial struggles during the cost of living crisis.

During her announcement in the House of Commons, Ms Truss also stated that the government will wait until an emergency Budget is set out this month. It means that households will now pay no more than £2,500 a year on their bills for two years starting from October 1.
