Truss says she will reverse national insurance rise so people can ‘keep more of their money’

Liz Truss says she will impose a temporary moratorium on the green energy levy if elected as Tory leader.

The foreign secretary stated a need to “get economic growth going” and added she would reverse the national insurance rise “to make sure people are keeping more of their own money”.

“What I want to do is make sure people are supported from day one,” Ms Truss, who is battling Rishi Sunak to become the next prime minister, said.

“That’s why I’d have a temporary moratorium on the green energy levy, to save people money on fuel bills.”
