MHK quit over Manx Gas regulatory deal
The former vice-chairman of the Office of Fair Trading says he hopes the Island will get some new competition laws soon.
Chris Thomas MHK was speaking after Tynwald questions yesterday, when a voluntary regulatory agreement between the government and Manx Gas was discussed during questions.
Mr Thomas resigned from the OFT over the deal, and says the Island needs a regulator with teeth to take companies to task when needed.
But he says new laws to spur competition and punish anti-competitive behaviour have been put back by the government:
Post Offices looking for 'hosts' in Onchan, Foxdale and Jurby
Fine for Douglas man repeatedly abused 999 call handlers
Oral health of five-year-olds to be assessed this spring
Pair to be sentenced next month after homophobic assault
