Chief Minister says 'significant increases' are on the way
The Chief Minister is warning that utility bills could rise by a further 40% this winter.
Alfred Cannan's comments come after big price increases to gas and electricity in recent months, which has forced his government to provide additional support payments to those struggling to pay their bills.
Treasury Minister Dr Alex Allinson is due to give an update on the situation in October's sitting of Tynwald.
Mr Cannan believes the cost of living will continue to increase:
No plans for service cuts, assures Manx Care
Busy month for property sales in September
September's rainfall nearly double the 30 year average
Arbory and Rushen Commissioners says two 'active quarries' missing from consultation
