Michael MHK Alf Cannan says a new select committee should be set up to see whether the Island’s policy on agriculture is working.
During Tynwald earlier this week, he asked a series of questions for written answer about the state of Manx farming.
In particular he wanted details on the size of the Island dairy herd, the number of exports going off-Island, and prices paid to farmers for livestock and produce.
He says he’ll call for the select committee during next month’s sitting of the court after the answers he received mirrored worries from the industry:
Charity warns of damage to Island's international reputation
Businesses encouraged to fill CoC survey on minimum wage
Former racer and travelling marshal celebrates 40 years on the Mountain Course
Peel's rescheduled Viking Longboat Races get underway today
