An attempt to have Tynwald's Public Accounts Committee look into the Isle of Man's film industry fell at the first hurdle yesterday (Thursday).
Onchan MHK Peter Karran's motion asking for an investigation into CinemaNX, its accounts and operations failed to get a seconder and so wasn't discussed by the court.
In the chamber, Mr Karran repeated his earlier attacks on the industry, questioning its benefits:
Payments to Isle of Man Meats board more than triple over three years
Compensation paid to non-executive directors rose from £70k in 2023 to more than £250k in 2025
Chamber backs revised minimum wage rise after government U-turn
Business group says five percent increase strikes a 'sustainable balance'
Regular meetings needed, says hospitality industry
Sector figure urging new Treasury Minister to 'get involved in the real world'
Forum hopes new Treasury Minister will be more receptive
