Minister responds to meat fight
Government is refusing to get involved in a dispute over Manx red meat.
The Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister says concerns raised with Isle of Man Meats by local butchers are 'strictly commercial'.
Yesterday, the directors of Douglas-based A&J Butchers called for a public inquiry into alleged supply and quality issues at the meat plant.
Mr Boot says the matter is being reviewed by the company.
There's an ongoing tender process for the abattoir - which the department hopes will have moved forward by September.
The Minister says the timing of butchers' comments isn't ideal:
Businesses passing on the VAT reduction to families
Poet says Gaiety's Katie Hopkins booking is 'not appropriate'
Royal Manx organisers reach amicable agreement over TT film road closures
Minister gives full backing to new hygiene ratings scheme for eateries
