Mon, 09 Oct 2023

The Chief Minister Alfred Cannan MHK attended the Conservative Party Conference this week along with the Deputy Chief Minister Jane Poole-Wilson MHK.

The pair met with a number of MPs and UK ministers including the Lord Chancellor Alex Chalk MP.  A range of issues were discussed and the Chief Minister provided an overview of the Island’s economy and outlined the Isle of Man Government’s priorities.

A Government delegation will also be heading to the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.

The Chief Minister said: “Attending the Autumn conferences in Manchester and Liverpool provides an excellent opportunity to meet with key influencers face-to-face and raise the profile of the Island and its positive contribution to the UK and wider global community.

“The relationship and political dynamics with Westminster have shifted post-Brexit and it is vital that the Isle of Man continues to promote positive dialogue with our friends and colleagues in the UK.”
