MHK calls for reduction in defence contribution

Fri, 10 Feb 2012

An MHK believes the Isle of Man should renegotiate the amount it contributes to the United Kingdom for defence.

South Douglas member Kate Beecroft will raise the matter in the House of Keys next week.

Mrs Beecroft has a question down for Chief Minister Allan Bell.

She suggests the Island should ask for a reduction in the contribution, proportionate to the reduction in the UK's defence budget.
