Question to be asked in Tynwald
Could the Island place a tax on palm oil and related products?
A question for written answer in this month's Tynwald sitting.
It's come from Speaker Juan Watterson who wants to know if such a tax is under consideration by the Manx Treasury.
Palm oil is used in close to half of all products bought in supermarkets, from shampoo to pizza.
However, its production is a cause of increasing environmental concern, with vast areas of forest being cleared in order to grow it.
