Martin Lewis gives his verdict on Liz Truss' leaked energy price freeze plan

Martin Lewis this week said that he 'would welcome' Government plans to freeze energy bills to prevent them rising further - but urged officials for more help for those on fixed-rate tariffs.

New Prime Minister Liz Truss is said to be considering a freeze on energy bill prices to deal with the cost of living and although nothing has been set in stone, Truss could freeze bills at around £2,500 per household, according to The Times.

It is estimated that the big freeze will in-turn cost somewhere in the region of £90billion and £130billion according to experts.
