MHK calls for gas support for local businesses

Callister claims there's 1400 facing price hikes

An Onchan MHK is calling for support for businesses affected by increasing gas prices.

Rob Callister questioned the Treasury Minister in the House of Keys this week:

He claimed there were 1400 businesses on the Island which use gas.

David Ashford said his department would look at it but believes they aren't facing the same issues as domestic consumers:

Around 4,000 low-income households on the Isle of Man will be eligible for financial support.
