JLP’s Mair to be deputy chair of National Energy Council

ENERGY Minister Phillip Paulwell has announced that Opposition Spokesman on Energy Gregory Mair will be named to a National Energy Council that will be set up to preside over a range of developments and concerns relating to energy.

Paulwell, who was addressing an energy forum convened by the American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica (AMCHAM) at the Knutsford Court Hotel on Thursday, described the issue of energy as being too critical for it to be the subject of political squabbles.
