This fall, every household in Britain will receive a £400 discount on their gas and electricity bills. The authorities are trying to cushion the population from rising prices in the country.

The £15 billion package of new measures will be financed in part by a 25 percent tax on windfall profits of oil and gas companies, which have risen sharply in recent months.
