Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘lie with the British Government,’ and insert:
‘and the Executive has now agreed an enhanced support package for homes relying on heating oil, the delayed response from the Minister for Communities and Minister for the Economy has increased the pressure facing local households and businesses; and calls on the Northern Ireland Executive, in conjunction with the British Government, to outline the actions it will take to alleviate pressures facing workers and businesses, including measures such as a temporary reduction in fuel duty, increased windfall taxes on energy giants, support for those working in domiciliary care, reduced fares for public transport and targeted support for other industries that have been most affected.’
