RICHER households will receive twice as much support aimed at reducing the cost of living than poorer households next year, a think tank has claimed.
The Resolution Foundation said if the government cuts National Insurance and limits energy bill rises, richer homes will get £4,700 in 2023, compared to £2,200 for the poorest.
A typical household energy bill will be limited to £2,500 annually until 2024.
The think tank said “details and costings” were missing from the plan.
The huge support scheme could cost up to £150bn, but Prime Minister Liz Truss has refused to put a figure on it, saying “extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures”.
