A further 1.3 million Britons will be pushed into poverty next year even if energy bills are frozen at their current levels, a think tank has warned.
The Legatum Institute (LI), which focuses on social and economic policy, forecasts that the number of people in poverty will rise from 13.9 million in 2019/20 to 15.2 million in 2022/23 even if the freeze is implemented.
