John Healey, the new chancellor, delivers his first Budget in the Commons on Wednesday, with energy bills forecast to reach £2,000 a year from January for a typical household. He is thought to have set aside more than £1bn to help people with energy costs, and has promised to freeze fuel duty again. Healey said the plans stay within tight fiscal rules.
