MGP dispute goes to Tynwald

Thu, 10 May 2012

The row over the Manx Grand Prix is one of the topics on the Tynwald question paper next week.

Middle MHK Howard Quayle has a question down for the Economic Development Minister.

He'll ask why the Department ignored compromise proposals put forward by the Manx Motorcycle Club.

The club came forward with these because it was unhappy with the government's proposed changes.

However, the DED believes its proposals are the best to maximise the MGP's potential.

Some fans who're unhappy with the changes are planning to stage a peaceful protest outside the Legislative Buildings ahead of Tuesday's sitting.
