Treasury Minister Allan Bell has told the House of Keys that wherever possible, local firms will continue to get government contracts.
He was quizzed by MHKs on the issue, following a question from Onchan MHK Peter Karran about the tendering process.
Mr Bell was asked whether Manx companies should be preferred over United Kingdom rivals when the government needed work to be carried out.
He said there had been no change of policy and the answer was clear:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
It happened at NACAS at Balldoole
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Incident happened in 2024
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Court hears evidence of drug supply linked to UK contact, with Deemster warning “there must come a time when it has to stop”
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
IOM Fire and Rescue Service is now urging people to make sure their properties are safe
