Legislation preventing vulnerable customers from being cut off was brought in over the winter
Just two complaints have been made to the Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading by gas customers facing disconnection since new laws to protect vulnerable customers were brought in.
Cabinet Office Minister Kate Lord-Brennan told Tynwald this week that neither of those customers had been identified as vulnerable.
The legislation was progressed through the branches in one day in December last year in response to increasing concerns from those classed as vulnerable facing the threat of having their gas supply cut off.
Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh was the chair of the Office of Fair Trading at that time, and says the protection were needed:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
