Starmer adviser urges ministers to look at profits cap for energy and petrol firms
🤖AI Özeti
The UK government's cost of living adviser has proposed a temporary cap on the profits of energy and petrol companies in response to rising prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Richard Walker, who serves as the prime minister’s 'cost of living champion,' emphasized the need to prevent excessive profiteering from the ongoing war. This suggestion comes amid concerns over the impact of Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on energy prices.
