Energy bills will be frozen at an average of £2500 for two years in the run-up to the next general election as Lanarkshire families battle the cost of living crisis.
New Tory Prime Minister Liz Truss was forced to act on the fuel crisis and yesterday announced plans in the Commons to limit gas and electricity bill rises in a scheme that will impose a two-year cap on the unit price of power.
The plan, which comes into force on October 1, will save the typical household £1000 a year, according to the government with the Truss government spending billions to protect people from soaring prices.
