Wednesday newspaper round-up: Energy prices for businesses, millionaires, FCA
(Sharecast News) - Jacob Rees-Mogg is expected to announce a cap on energy prices for businesses that would cut the rates they pay by up to half this winter. The business secretary will outline support on Wednesday for companies, charities and public sector organisations for six months from 1 October, after Liz Truss said they would receive equivalent help to households whose costs are being capped. - Guardian Nearly 11 million people are now behind on their bills while more than 5 million have gone without food, according to new research that reveals Britons are skipping meals "just to keep the lights on". An estimated 20% of UK adults, or 10.9 million people, are behind on one or more household bill - up by 3 million since March - according to the Money Advice Trust report. - Guardian

The UK is host to 2.85m people with a net wealth of more than $1m (£877,000), according to Credit Suisse's annual Global Wealth Report, putting the country behind only US, China and Japan. - Telegraph
The City regulator is rejecting a greater number of applications from financial firms wanting to do business in Britain as it adopts a more rigorous approach after a series of scandals. The Financial Conduct Authority said its increased level of scrutiny meant a marked increase in businesses being blocked from authorisation. - The Times
