'We will continue to help support families in Northern Ireland through the global pressures we are all facing.'

The British Chancellor has said he is "absolutely committed" to ensuring people in Northern Ireland will receive a £400 payment in the autumn to ease energy costs despite Stormont's collapse.

The money, part of a package announced in May, will come in six instalments over six months to some 29 million households. Households will see £66 taken off their energy bills in October and November, and £67 between December and March, the Government said.The region currently has no functioning Executive or Assembly due to a DUP veto in protest against Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol.

"And there’s more to come. Not only will the second instalment of that payment arrive this autumn, but I’ve been clear that we are absolutely committed to bringing an equivalent to the £400 energy bills discount to Northern Ireland as soon as possible to ease the burden on families. But the Sinn Fein minister said the "quickest solution" would be to have a functioning government restored at Stormont.
