'Oil and gas prices must be regulated'
EAST Antrim MLA Seán Neeson has called for the regulation of home heating oil and bottled gas prices to help combat the devastating effects of fuel poverty.
“There is currently no real price regulation of the oil industry here, and I believe that this is to the massive detriment of the public, especially older people and those on low incomes. People deserve a fair deal.
“It’s not just the oil industry here that needs regulation, but also the bottled gas industry. To provide best value for the public and help tackle fuel poverty we need action on this,” the Alliance Party’s Energy spokesman said.
