MHK concerned about asset stripping at Manx Telecom

Chief Minister asked to provide statement about firm's recent sale

An MHK is seeking assurances over the future of Manx Telecom following the company's recent takeover.

The telecoms provider announced it had accepted an offer from Basalt Infrastructure Partners in March.

Onchan member Rob Callister is asking Chief Minister Howard Quayle for a statement on the sale at next week's sitting of the House of Keys.

He insists it's vital for the Island that the company is successful going forward.
