Petition victory in Tynwald
The Isle of Man is due to discuss possible benefits beyond its territorial sea.
It follows a Tynwald motion tabled by Paul Craine MLC calling for the Council of Ministers to ask the UK for an extension to the median line between the two countries.
The motion came about as a result of a petition in the names of Keith Kerruish of Ramsey and Phil Craine of Douglas - which Mr Craine presented to the court this month.
Despite opposition from CoMin, the motion received overwhelming support.
Afterwards Mr Craine gave his reaction:
More services to be temporarily relocated from Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Isle of Man population edges upward to 84,975 as migration drives growth
