Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
UK energy strategy delayed again
The announcement setting out Boris Johnson's energy strategy has been delayed again amid reports Rishi Sunak is resisting new spending commitments.
The Prime Minister said on March 9 the plan would be published in "the next few days", but expectations then slipped to last week and then to this week.
However, the Telegraph says it is now understood the document, which may signal a new dash for gas and oil in the North Sea, has been put back yet again.
It is reported officials now believe April 4 is the earliest the strategy will be published, with the Chancellor said to be opposing measures which require new money.
£35million of contract wins for north-east healthcare business
TAC Healthcare Group has secured multiple contracts providing occupational health services to firms in the energy and construction sectors.
Aberdeenshire-based TAC - also known as The Aberdeen Clinic - will provide services to logistics group ASCO, WM Donald, an unnamed oil and gas exploration and production company and several other energy companies.
Many of the contracts secured in the last two months feature significant long-term extension clauses and have a combined value of £35million, the group said.
Energy Voice says TAC provides a host of medical services, including fitness-to-work assessments, offshore medics and Covid testing.
Employment loophole to be closed
Grant Shapps will close an EU loophole that allowed P&O Ferries to blindside ministers by sacking 800 seafarers earlier this month.
The UK Transport Secretary plans to reverse employment laws that were foisted on the country under his predecessor Chris Grayling in 2018.
He will do so alongside legislation that forces any operator sailing into British ports to pay the UK minimum wage.
The Telegraph says the new rules will be unveiled as early as tomorrow.
On Monday night, P&O showed the first sign that it was prepared to pay the national minimum wage, but only on the condition that all ferry companies operating in British waters did the same.
Huge loss following bailout of NatWest
The UK Government faces a loss of around £20billion on its bailout of NatWest, in which it has now become a minority shareholder after years of deeply below-cost share sales.
The Treasury has cut its stake in NatWest to below 50%, giving up control of the bank for the first time since it was nationalised in the financial crisis.
The lender, formerly known as Royal Bank of Scotland, announced a £1.2billion purchase of shares from the Treasury this week.
The Telegraph says it will leave taxpayers holding a 48.1% stake in NatWest, with most of the shares sold at far below the price at which Gordon Brown's Government stepped in to save the stricken bank in October 2008.
Chocolate bars getting smaller
Cadbury has shrunk the size of its Dairy Milk sharing bars by 10%, but will not reduce the price for customers.
Parent company Mondelez blamed costs associated with the production of its chocolate spiking, as it reduced the bars' size from 200g to 180g.
They are still typically being sold at £2 despite the downsize, reports the BBC.
US firm Mondelez said the move was the first for that size of Dairy Milk bar in a decade.
In 2020, the company was accused of "shrinkflation" - reducing the size of a product while keeping the price the same to boost profits.
