Steam Packet questions dominate House of Keys sitting

Tue, 26 Jun 2018

The Government takeover of the Steam Packet Company, the condition of Groudle Glen and business jets will be discussed in this week's sitting of the House of Keys.

Douglas South MHK Kate Beecroft has tabled a number of queries relating to the Government's recent £124m purchase of the Island's ferry operator.

She's also seeking an update on the British Government's assessment of the Island's importation of business jets practice, which was called into question following the publication of the Paradise Papers last year.

The Communication Bill, which will update the Island's laws on mobile phones, internet and media, will undergo its first reading.
