MHK to ask urgent question in HOK

An urgent question about the impact of rising energy prices will be asked in the House of Keys this morning.

Jason Moorhouse will ask the Treasury Minister what the Council of Ministers and the Manx Utilities Authority are doing to reduce the impact on  customers following recent increases in the wholesale price of gas.

The House of Keys sitting is set to start at 10am.
