Contribution

I am very grateful to my Leicestershire colleague for giving way. Could he point to where in the Budget Loughborough cafés or restaurants will get specific support with their energy? The British industrial competitiveness scheme is only for manufacturing, and all the tax levies that are coming off bills—the carbon taxes, the green levies—will not do so until 2028. I am not aware of any support specifically for cafés in Loughborough or restaurants on his high street. Am I wrong?
