Here are some of the key points from the spring statement made on the budget by Mr Sunak:
- The government will cut to zero a 5% VAT rate for households installing solar panels, heat pumps or insulation.
- Mr Sunak announced that fuel duty will be cut by 5p from 57.95p per litre following the surge in petrol prices with the reduction lasting for 12 months.
- The OBR on Wednesday forecast that energy bills will rise by 40% again in October if wholesale gas prices remain at the same level they are now
