The UK Government says it is providing more than 100,000 households north of the border with £150 off their energy bills - a move backed by Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West MP Martin McCluskey.

Confirmation of the money off is being sent out after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer expanded the warm home discount scheme to help a further 2.7 million families across the UK.
