Chief Minister Howard Quayle welcomes the Lord Chancellor

The United Kingdom's Lord Chancellor has been visiting the Isle of Man this week.

The Rt Hon David Lidington MP's responsibilities include the Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for managing the UK's relationship with the Crown Dependencies.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle says the visit gave the Island the chance to reflect on the Island's progress in recent tears and look to the future post-Brexit.

Mrs Lidington described the relationship between the Island and the UK as positive and mutually beneficial, and insists it's vital that the two nations continue to work together.

Mr Lidington attended Tynwald and learned about the Island's Courts, as well as visiting local businesses.
