PRESS RELEASE : Gavin Robinson tells NIO to stop manufacturing excuses [November 2022]

The press release issued by the DUP on 18 November 2022.

DUP East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson has told NIO Minister Steve Baker to stop manufacturing excuses and set a timeline for the delivery of the £400 energy payment.

Mr Robinson said,

“The UK Government is delivering the energy payment directly to homes in England, Scotland and Wales and people can see through the nonsense suggestion that this has been delayed in Northern Ireland because Stormont is not fully functioning.

Even if Stormont was fully operational, the best way to deliver this payment would be direct from London.

The NIO should stop manufacturing excuses for why this is taking so long. The energy companies are ready to deliver the payment and the only impediment lies in London.

Set a timeline and stop making politically motivated attacks on the DUP.”
