Chamber of Commerce "broadly supports" government support measures

But calls for more targeted help for businesses

The Chamber of Commerce says it broadly supports government's planned measures to help during the rising cost of living, but admits it would like more targeted support for businesses.

Last week, the treasury minister announced a cap on electricity prices, a cap on bus fares and a third round of support payments to those most in need.

It's as the rise in energy, fuel and food prices are expected to continue throughout the winter months.

Board member Carol Glover is from the chamber and has been speaking to Amy Griffiths:
