Workers' rights a priority, insists minister
The economic development minister is telling staff at the Villa Gaiety complex their rights will be protected in the event of a takeover.
Laurence Skelly made the comments in light of proposals to instigate a tender process for the running of the government-owned venue.
He says three UK-based parties have shown interest so far - but a local bid would be welcomed when the process begins later this year.
For now, though, he's giving assurances to workers:
Advice from DOI as hail and snow showers expected this weekend
Treasury responds to report calling for government to reduce its size
President of Tynwald 'genuinely surprised and humbled' to receive OBE
New Year Honour recipient "humbled" to receive BEM
