Energy crisis plan, imperial measures survey, gardens v national parks
b"
One of Liz Truss's first acts as Prime Minister was to announce a giant plan to protect domestic energy users from huge rises in wholesale gas and electricity costs, meaning a typical household will pay about \\xa31000 less than otherwise would have been the case. We ask how much the Energy Price Guarantee will cost the government and also explain what a \\u201ctypical\\u201d household really is. A consultation has opened into whether we\\u2019d like more of our goods and services priced in imperial measures \\u2013 but some listeners are suggesting a survey on the issue is biased against metric. And we examine a claim made on the BBC\\u2019s Springwatch programme that all of the gardens in Newcastle are bigger than the combined size of our national parks.
