Labour’s £100 Energy Bill Scheme to Hand £350m to Richest Households

RecentNews.uk

Around 3.5 million of the UK's richest households will receive the £100 energy rebate.

Just under 700,000 of the poorest households will miss out on the funding entirely.

The scheme relies on council tax bands established in 1991, causing deep targeting issues.

Critics have branded the £350m payout to wealthy earners an inexcusable waste of money.

Should winter energy bill support be strictly means-tested rather than based on council tax bands?
