A trip to London to meet MPs and Lords won the support of friends old and new, says Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan.
He and president of Tynwald Noel Cringle led a delegation to Westminster to garner support for the Island following recent criticisms by United Kingdom politicians in the wake of the Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander affair.
In particular, Mr Rodan wanted to allay fears about the Island’s relationship with Britain after remarks made by UK Chancellor Alistair Darling.
Mr Rodan says yesterday’s visit was a great success:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
