One measure will see a windfall tax imposed on oil and gas firms, the funds from which will go towards funding support for struggling households.

Roughly eight million households will receive a one-off payment of £650 in order to help with the cost of living, which will be paid in two lump sums in July and autumn by the Department of Work and Pensions.
