New MHK tables several questions
A newly-elected MHK says economic dependence on the e-gaming sector could spell bad news for the Island in the future.
Member for Douglas North, David Ashford, will question the economic development minister about the diversity of the Manx economy during Tynwald tomorrow (Tuesday) – the first sitting of the court since last month’s General Election.
Mr Ashford believes the government should encourage growth in new sectors such as research and development and renewable energy.
But he cautions against an 'unbalanced' economy:
Community on Island 'praying' as 7.8 earthquake hits Philippines
Workforce size and pay awards make health budget 'difficult to predict'
Overhead MER cables brought down in Laxey
Onchan commissioner to stand for election in Garff
Health minister: 'Manx Care 2.0 is right around the corner'
