To Greg Hands, Energy Minister and Kwasi Kwarteng, Business Minister
My local fish and chip shop is going to shut its doors, their electricity & gas bill is going up 8x. Small businesses provide tons of jobs, but because the energy price cap is only for consumers, energy companies get free rein on the prices for small businesses.
Here's what small business owners are saying:
"As you probably understand, running a butchery, bakery and deli uses a lot of electricity and we can now no longer carry on."
"My partner can't afford to run her machines [laundrette] now because energy is sky rocketing. Unless we hit a miracle she is going to lose the business. The whole country needs help!"
"We’re one of the first local businesses in Aberdeen to be forced to close, we won’t be the last. Something needs to be done!"
