Although inflation fell to 2.8 percent in April (from 3.3 percent in March), the cost of living for British households is expected to increase, linked to rising energy prices, among other factors.
The government and the finance minister have now presented measures for the summer, including reduced import taxes on around a hundred food products, such as cakes and chocolate.
In addition, British children will be able to travel free on public buses in August. A more unexpected move is that the tax on attractions such as theme parks and zoos will also be reduced from 20 to 5 percent.
