Government supports local suppliers
The Island’s economic development minister says local suppliers do come first when the government is looking for contractors.
This morning in the House of Keys, Laurence Skelly faced questions from North Douglas MHK Ralph Peake about his support for people spending locally.
Mr Skelly said money spent with Island firms stays in our economy and so produces more prosperity.
But when pressed by Onchan MHK David Quirk, he said he’d have to look into details of the procurement process:
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Private members bill regarding Bishop’s vote makes progress
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Disqualification for driver who was three times the drug limit
