PMQS: Keir Starmer presses Johnson on govt support for household energy bills amid price hike
Ukraine war: UK will not escalate the conflict 'in a way that would be unacceptable' to the world, Grant Shapps says
Mr Johnson replied that his government has issued a £20bn package of support to help families amid rising costs and"will continue to do more".The PM continued:"The chancellor has set out plans to help families with energy costs with unprecedented measures to abate council tax by £150 in addition to all the other schemes that we are putting forward.
Pressing once more for more government support to help decrease household bills, Sir Keir said:"Before Russia invaded Ukraine, North Sea oil and gas companies were making bumper profits. BP made £9.5 billion, Shell made £14 billion."Since then the international price of oil and gas has skyrocketed and so will their profits.
