New MHK tables several questions
A newly-elected MHK says economic dependence on the e-gaming sector could spell bad news for the Island in the future.
Member for Douglas North, David Ashford, will question the economic development minister about the diversity of the Manx economy during Tynwald tomorrow (Tuesday) – the first sitting of the court since last month’s General Election.
Mr Ashford believes the government should encourage growth in new sectors such as research and development and renewable energy.
But he cautions against an 'unbalanced' economy:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
