Costs to increase by 27.5% following Tynwald vote
Manx Gas' parent company says there was no alternative to proposing significant gas price rises on the Isle of Man.
Yesterday (19 October) Tynwald approved a motion which will see prices increase by 27.5%.
Islands Energy Group says it would 'absolutely' commit to bringing rates down again if the market stabilises.
It's CEO, Jo Cox, was asked what other options were considered instead:
CRHS plans are progressing, insists education minister
It's hoped building work could start next summer
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
Boat was later used to smuggle £310,000 worth of cannabis to the Island
