A move to make major changes to the Island’s Countryside Care Scheme has been put on hold.
It’s after Tynwald was unable to agree on a series of recommendations proposed by the committee which assessed it.
Although supporters feel elements of the scheme are helping the agriculture industry show signs of stabilisation and growth, opponents say it has many disadvantages.
Last night, a raft of extra recommendations were put forward by Michael member Alfred Cannan which prompted MHKs to call for more consultation with the industry and the wider community.
While that was backed in the House of Keys, members of the Legislative Council opposed it and Tynwald was divided.
Malew and Santon MHK Graham Cregeen, who believes there should be in-depth consultation with the industry, will now ask for a combined vote at next month’s sitting.
