Alfred Cannan reacts to Rishi Sunak's announcement
The controversial move in the UK to extend the period in which new diesel and petrol cars can be purchased by five years until 2035, has caused additional uncertainty for car users and businesses.
That's the view of Chief Minister Alfred Cannan who told Manx Radio the matter will be discussed imminently in the Council of Ministers in a bid to clarify the position.
The announcement of an extended deadline was made earlier this week by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and immediately provoked an angry response from environmental groups.
Mr Cannan says the position must be clarified:
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
