Prime Ministerial contender Rishi Sunak has promised financial aid for the poor amid Britain's energy crisis. Rishi Sunak, the former finance minister, has promised extra money to help people cope with rising household energy bills if elected as Britain's prime minister.
Rishi Sunak, a 42-year-old Indian-origin finalist in the Conservative Party leadership race, has pledged to fund the government through "efficiency savings" while reining in borrowing.
Efficiency savings are funds available for incentive payments under sections 18-75 due to reductions in expenditures by a city department or agency in any fiscal year.
Home heating bills in Britain are expected to rise further than previously predicted this winter, according to a forecast by energy consultancy Cornwall Insight.
"There is no doubt in my mind that people will need more support," Sunak said.
The issue has dominated the campaign for the two finalists, with rival Foreign Secretary Liz Truss focusing on pledges to cut taxes - which the former finance minister warned risked worsening high inflation.
Meanwhile, Sunak and Liz Truss continue their campaign to get Conservative Party members to vote for them. Voting will end on September 2 and the new party leader will be announced on September 5.
