The Chancellor has unveiled a support package to assist millions of households to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The support, which will be partly paid for by a £5billion windfall tax, will give all households a £400 grant to help pay their skyrocketing energy bills. However, Kate Garraway questioned the timing of Rishi Sunak’s support package which was announced in the wake of Sue Gray’s Partygate report being published.
Sunak told Good Morning Britain viewers the support the Government announced on Thursday will help those who are concerned about soaring energy bills.
However, Garraway said: “It’s a solid sticking plaster, my question is for someone who is always looking at investment and looking at how to pay for things down the line, what are you going to do to cost that and how are you going to get that investment in quickly from those companies?”
The Chancellor explained the Government has the “super deduction” scheme which is something he announced last year and runs through to next year.
He added: “It’s a very generous incentive for businesses to invest in the economy and what I have already committed to doing is when that temporary generous investment expires next spring, we will replace it with something which is more permanent.”
