Money Saving Expert's Martin Lewis has urged the Chancellor to "urgently rethink" the £200 energy rebate scheme which is set to become compulsory.
The fresh calls for its scrapping comes as research by MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) - fronted by Martin himself - has shown that if given the option, the majority of adults in the UK would opt of the scheme.
According to a YouGov poll, which spoke to 1,665 adults, they found that 57% of those responsible for energy bills - including those on benefits - would decline the cash rebate which Martin himself has refered to as a "loan-not-loan" scheme.
