Reeves gives more energy bill support to businesses as Iran war pushes up costs
UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has expanded the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme to cover 10,000 energy-intensive businesses, offering up to 25% bill reductions, though payments will not be made until next year and backdated to the current month. The move responds to rising energy costs linked to Middle East conflict and closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
