MP's call for Crown Dependencies to help
A Westminster MP says the Isle of Man should be "asked to do more" to help solve the "colossal" Syrian migrant crisis, where it can.
Keith Vaz MP is the chairman of the UK's Home Affairs Select Committee - it released a report this week documenting EU action to address Syrian displacement.
It's believed plans to resettle the agreed 20,000 Syrians in the UK by 2020 is 'unlikely'.
Mr Vaz says if the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey want to take action alongside the UK, advice is available.
The committee has catalogued a series of serious failures - which Mr Vaz says is "lamentable".
He says the Crown Dependencies should get involved, if they can:
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
Chief minister: "We have a lot to take away" - as CoMin roadshows draw to a close
