MHK seeks update on Meat Plant

Mon, 12 Feb 2018

An MHK is seeking an update on the future of the Isle of Man Meat Plant.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture recently announced it would be setting up a new commercial board to run the facility after failing to find a private operator to run the plant.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot what progress has been made, as well as asking him to set out the new structure the plant will be operated under.

A new management team was due to take over last month, while the Government has been looking for a commercial partner to make the facility more sustainable.

Mr Boot will respond in tomorrow's sitting of the House of Keys.
