On Monday evening Truss met with energy chiefs to work out a way forward with terms of a freeze on bills, which could last for up to two years and could cost around £100 billion.

This move would see the government subsidise the cost of gas which supplies energy companies for their electricity generators, this move could see the price cap remaining at £1,971 for the average household.

Paul Johnson the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, said a freeze for energy bills is “unavoidable.”
