Liz Truss tells LBC she is 'sorry' for previously saying nobody will pay more than £2,500 for energy bills when some households will
Picture: Alamy/GettyLiz Truss has apologised for "not being more specific" when she previously spoke about energy bills being capped at £2,500.The Prime Minister has been criticised for giving the appearance that her scheme was an absolute limit instead of a cap based on per unit of energy used.
Ms Truss made repeated claims about the energy price cap in a series of disastrous media interviews last week. She told another station: "We have taken action by the government stepping in and making sure that nobody is paying fuel bills of more than £2,500." After Nick took her through the interviews, Ms Truss responded: "I was talking about the typical bill. What we're actually doing is capping it per unit of energy and the number I gave was for the typical household.""You say you got that wrong?" Nick asked her.More needs to be done to make London streets safe for women, says Liz TrussThe policy, called the Energy Price Guarantee, is a cap on the unit of gas or electricity a household uses.
