'Nothing extra' in it for the Isle of Man
There's nothing extra for the Isle of Man in the UK Budget, and some of the announcements could put extra pressure on us.
The initial reaction to George Osbourne's latest budget speech from Treasury Minister Eddie Teare.
He says there had been talk of a rise in fuel duty, which earns an extra £500,000 for Treasury coffers for every penny increase, but that has not been the case.
Mr Teare says a couple of the tax cuts will also increase competition for business:
EasyJet agrees to £5.7 billion US takeover bid
One in eight drinking above recommended weekly alcohol limit
Peel Commissioner to stand for House of Keys
Renal patients 'near breaking point' over lack of dialysis facilities in the north
