Commenting on the announcement of energy support for businesses, Muniya Barua, Managing Director of Policy & Strategy at BusinessLDN, said:
“The Energy Bill Relief Scheme announced today staves off the threat of mass bankruptcies for now but may not go far enough for those firms already groaning under the weight of Covid-related debt.
The Government must keep all options open if prices spike further, or risk seeing the impact only delayed to spring rather than avoided.”
