A milk bottle business owner says Liz Truss' business energy cap is "fake news" because he is still facing a £4million bill - up from £1million. Kuldeep Singh, 55, is a director at Blowplast, a plastic moulding company which makes milk bottles.
His business in High Wycombe was expected to face a £6m energy bill in October and now, even with the Government support, he is expected to face a bill of £4m, he says. He was initially happy when he heard help was being offered, but changed his mind when he looked at the detail, he said.
The support package announced by the Government includes reducing the price paid for energy from October 1 to help people get through the winter months. Now, after going over the announcement and researching the proposal, Kuldeep said he is disappointed and the 21p per kilowatt-hour for electricity cap is "fake news".
