There was no direct support from the Government for 37% of households to heat their homes. The argument I have consistently made is that for people who use gas to heat their homes, there was a measure to support them. The Minister referred to micro-issues. A situation in which 37% of households do not have any direct support to heat their homes is not a micro-issue. That situation applies to 66% of people in the Border areas.
