Not sure where to stick this (Liz/Royals/Energy) but...
Households could experience a series of three-hour power cuts this winter if Vladimir Putin shuts off gas supplies from Russia and Britain experiences a cold snap, National Grid has warned.
Such an event would mean consumers in different parts of the country being notified a day in advance of three-hour blocks of time during which their power would be cut off, in an effort to reduce total consumption by 5%.
The emergency plan would need to be approved by King Charles on the recommendation of the business secretary.
Why has it been announced that the King would have to approve it. Surely this is a Government thing and as such only gets signed off as a matter of course by the monarch. Is this the Government attaching the kings name to negative news?
I can't remember stories that the Queen would have to sign off the Rwanda policy.
