MHK raises issue with Boot
The impact of Brexit on the Island's territorial seas has been brought to the attention of Tynwald at this morning's extraordinary sitting.
Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper put a question to Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Geoffrey Boot.
He wanted to know what assessment has been made of the potential for an increase in the number of EU vessels fishing in Manx waters on day one of a no-deal Brexit
In his answer, Mr Boot said the number of foreign vessels found in the Island's seas were low.
And he said the first day of the UK's departure from the EU - as it stands - is the start of the king scallop season and therefore protection vessels will already be in place:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
