Approval sought for £500,000 scheme
Manx firefighters could soon be set to receive all their training on-Island.
That's if a new £500,000 scheme gets Tynwald approval.
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson is to seek parliamentary approval later this month for the building of a Live Fire Training facility.
He believes the costs will be recouped by saving on firefighters completing their training in the UK.
Mr. Watterson explains why he thinks it could be beneficial:
Ministers 'must hold chief officers to account' over budgeting
Treasury minister faces questions about contingency funds and spending in Tynwald
Over 200 vehicles stopped during Operation Uplift
Five motorists were arrested for drink or drug driving
Tynwald backs first annual update on Autism Strategy
But concerns raised over funding, assessments and lived experience
Tynwald rejects call for new committee to review financial and eGaming regulation
Members instead back a government-framed statement emphasising confidence, stability and readiness for next year’s MONEYVAL assessment.
