LONDON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Britain's business minister
Kwasi Kwarteng said protecting customers during a time of higher
global gas prices was an absolute priority and he would meet
industry bosses again on Sunday and Monday to work on the issue.
Kwarteng met energy bosses and the regulator on Saturday and
said afterwards that he had been reassured that security of
supply was not an issue and that people would still receive gas
and electricity uninterrupted, even if a supplier failed.
"I will remain in constant contact with colleagues across
government to manage the wider implications of the global gas
price increase," he said on Twitter.
