As I indicated in reply to the Question referred to, the development and expansion of the natural gas network is in the first instance a commercial matter for Gaslink, which is mandated under Section 8 of the Gas Act 1976, as amended, to develop and maintain a national system for the supply of natural gas that is both economical and efficient.

I understand that the company has recently contacted the Deputy with a view to a meeting in order to discuss the matter.
