The Daily Mirror : Rishi Sunak is set to announce the energy bills grant as part of a package of measures to help tackle the cost of living crisis and shift attention away from the Partygate row

All households in Britain will get an energy bills discount of up to £400 and won’t have to pay it back, it has been reported.

Rishi Sunak is set to announce the grants plan – to be distributed by energy companies – on Thursday as part of a package to help with the soaring cost of living, according to sources.

The Chancellor will scrap a much-criticised “rebate and clawback scheme” that would have seen people get a £200 discount on energy bills from October.

Suppliers would have recouped the funds through charging more over the next five years – leading to criticism it was effectively a loan.

Government sources claim the move announced on
