LONDON, April 1 (Reuters) – British finance minister Rachel Reeves told the BBC on Wednesday that any government support to offset the increase in energy costs caused by the conflict in the Middle East would be based on household income.
Household energy bills are expected to rise in July and Reeves said in March that any support would be targeted.
“We’re looking at ways in which we can support people based on their household income,” Reeves told the BBC, adding that it was too early to say who would get help.
