Martin Lewis: Finanical support for energy price rises is ‘clearly not enough’

Martin Lewis has warned the government that there is “clearly not enough” financial support for UK households facing soaring energy bills this spring.

The founder and chair of Money Saving Expert said: “£350 worth of help of which £200 is questionable, to cover a £1,300 rise [in energy bills]… you don’t need to be the Money Saving Expert to work out, no, that is not enough”.

Lewis was giving evidence to the business committee’s evidence session on energy pricing and the future of the energy market.
