MHK reveals gulf in gambling job opportunities between Island and Gibraltar

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Onchan MHK Zac Hall will today seek to find out why there is such a difference in gambling sector employment levels between the Island and Gibraltar.

As it stands there are roughly 750 jobs on Island, whereas 4,000 people are employed in the same sector in Gibraltar.

Gibraltar has a population of only 29,000.

The former Liberal Vannin member wants to know what the key differences in support offered by the respective governments are.

He’ll be posing the question to Economic Development Minister John Shimmin in today's Tynwald sitting.
