Government to take over gas supply
The Chief Minister says Manx Gas won't be able to supply LPG gas to the north, south and west of the Island in 3 to 5 years time.
Tony Brown says the Manx Government is financing work on the gas pipeline to ensure supplies to these areas remain.
The Government will then charge Manx Gas to supply these areas.
Mr Brown says the proposals will go before the July sitting of Tynwald.
