The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has warned that the latest government plans to introduce price caps on basic food items in a bid to tackle the cost-of-living crisis will “not make a jot of difference to prices”.

The price cap on basic food items is reportedly at a “drawing board stage” and according to reports there are currently no plans for the introduction of a mandatory price cap.
